Mendoza Debates IPJyC Restructuring Plan

Argentina.– 29 May 2026 – www.zonadeazar.com The Mendoza Legislature has begun analysing the project promoted by the provincial government to reorganise the Provincial Gaming and Casinos Institute (IPJyC), an initiative aimed at adapting the organisation to new economic, technological and operational challenges within the regulated gaming sector.

Overview

Legislative committees from the Chamber of Deputies received Mendoza’s Minister of Finance and Treasury, Víctor Fayad, who presented the main guidelines of the project submitted by Governor Alfredo Cornejo.

The proposal seeks to grant administrative and financial reorganisation powers to the IPJyC for a one-year period in order to improve sustainability, operational efficiency and financial balance.

Details / Context

The project includes measures related to internal restructuring, staff relocation, voluntary retirement programmes and possible transfers to other state departments, always through agreed mechanisms and compensation schemes.

According to the provincial government, the initiative responds to profound changes in gaming consumption habits and declining profitability in certain land-based operational units.

Among the factors mentioned is also the economic impact caused by the fire that occurred in March 2026 at the Tótem Boulevard complex, which affected the Institute’s revenue.

The Mendoza Executive also argues that some operational areas present structural deficits that require a review of the organisation’s overall functioning.

Impact

The debate marks one of the most important institutional movements within Argentina’s regulated gaming sector during 2026 and reflects how public gaming bodies are beginning to face new scenarios involving digitalisation, technological transformation and financial efficiency.

The discussion also highlights the challenge of maintaining traditional state-run structures in a context where online gaming and new digital formats are progressively transforming the land-based model.

Provincial authorities also emphasised that the resources generated by the IPJyC continue financing healthcare programmes, public libraries and various social initiatives across Mendoza.

Future Outlook

As the legislative process moves forward, the Mendoza case is beginning to be closely monitored by other Argentine provinces facing similar challenges related to profitability, modernisation and sustainability within their public gaming structures.

The IPJyC restructuring could become an important precedent regarding how state gaming institutions seek to adapt to the new dynamics of the regulated ecosystem.
