121 people were told they were dismissed with 20 days pay for every year worked as a compensation. The employees have refused to negotiate compensation and demand the casino to be re-opened. The union representatives told: “people don’t want compensations, they just want to work”.



The management claimed they had to take such measures because of the crisis and on-line gaming in order to save around 200 employees left in left in the Alicante and Torrevieja branches. Nevertheless, the company running La Villa Casino asked to temporarily suspend the licence that they could be able to open a casino in another area of the region.



The union stated it was unacceptable since people were fired, "when they (the company) are keeping their licence to open another gaming centre”.
