Hungarian lotto management to change
Hungarian politicians are scheduled to debate the management of the country’s state-owned lottery Szerencsejáték this week following the introduction of a Hungarian parliamentary bill that seeks to regulate the management of state assets. The bill proposes that Szerencsejáték, which has enjoyed a 70 percent increase in revenues over the past two years, will be taken into a merged National Asset Manager company formed with stake holders from three government bodies.
