Gaming Machine Operator Seeks Millions in Damages from Slovak State Over Pandemic Losses

Gaming machine operator Vix is pursuing legal action against the Slovak state, seeking millions of euros in compensation for financial losses allegedly caused by pandemic lockdown measures. The company claims it suffered significant financial damage when the government ordered the closure of non-essential businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced gaming establishments to shut down operations. Vix argues that the state's lockdown restrictions directly caused their losses and that they are entitled to compensation for the revenue lost during the mandatory closure period.
