5 million for 20 machines
Since May 23, gaming machines are out of use, their use has been stopped. The reason is high licensing fee: 5 million AMD for 20 machines.
Entrepreneurs from Armavir region who had gathered near the building of Ministry of Finance today think it is not reasonable to put 20 gaming machines side by side.
"That is not a source of income. Only one of those twenty will function if all of them are put together", Hrayr Manukyan said.
Participants of the protest action also say, that they have obtained new gaming machines justa few days ago paying 1500$ for each and now they do not see the way they can pay their debts.
"If such a law was to be passed, they must have informed us about it 2-3 months ago", Aram Gevorgyan says.
In case the problem is not solved, those people are going to immigrate.
