The Riksdag has approved the government's proposal to remove Svenska Spel's opportunity to operate physical casinos.
The reason is, according to Finance Market Minister Niklas Wykman, that the casino operations are unprofitable and that state-owned companies should not operate casinos.
"It should not be a politically assigned task for a state-owned company to operate casinos", he wrote in an op-ed article in Aftonbladet last year.
The casino will remain open until further notice and at the latest until the law change comes into effect on January 1, 2026, according to a press release from Svenska Spel.
