Paraguay's President signed Law 6903, restricting slot machine gaming outside of gambling halls. The contract the country's regulator Conajzar has with iCrop is now void. icrop was the slot manager of Paraguay.

New law prevents slot machines from being installed in facilities other than gaming halls. The president signed the executive order to protect children and prevent gambling addiction from spreading across the country's provinces. Municipalities are in charge of concessions and permits when it comes to games of chance. They will work with Conajzar. Each municipality will review an offer by an interested company that wants to offer slot services.

The change to slot gaming law in Paraguay came after an issue arose last year regarding Conajzar and iCrop. The former Conjazar chair signed a contract with i Crop to make it legal for slot games in non-gambling shops. i crop charges just over $43 a month per game for operation.
