False promises, fraud allegations, leaves of absence – in the new West game casino opened at the Berlin TV tower, it is currently like in the late-ancient Rome. Meanwhile, not only of the Berlin Senate, but the state police has intervened in the matter. With a clarification is now 1 1. expected 2011th Real winners should be no longer in the affair but in the end.
Shorten the distance between sender and recipients, and increase the likelihood that your message is heard. With this motto on Wednesday proceeded the employees of the casino in West Berlin. After a first demonstration outside the front door under the TV tower you had posted this time with snow and wind before the building of the Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia in the capital. Right there resides the relevant national bank and it is this one game turn the West Group and its subsidiaries, the “New German casino GmbH” (NDSC). It was so pretty close to that ear, which was to understand the message.
Or should we say here, perhaps better hear from. Because of understanding can have long since be no question. Even insiders do not see more completely in the affair of the Western game Casino Berlin.
Because the whole confusion but an illuminating light on the gambling legislation in Germany and their concrete real forms, we present the positions here over time.
A brief summary of the situation:
Since the move of the much-West game casinos from the top floor of the Park Inn hotels in the base of the TV tower building game two months ago, there is no classical discontinued. About 30 employees were exempted from service. Moreover, the West is playing group to which the Casino Berlin, against six executives charged allegations of fraud. The Berlin Senate threatens the casino now with withdrawal of the concession due to the lack of classic game and LKA determines the terms of the fraud allegations.
The background:
On 3 October 2010 the casino was Berlin after a move from the top floor of the Park Inn hotel opened in the base building of the nearby television tower again. From the “Step into a new age” but then little was to be seen, because from the first day were missing (until now) poker, blackjack and roulette, classic than the whole game was. The astonished visitor’s with “technical and legal problems,” explains .
As from 1 October were 30 employees were exempted from work. Although the basic salary was still paid, on shift allowances and salary supplements from the Troncaufkommen (tip) had to be omitted. It was also made by the directors are not clear to what extent the work conditions will remain valid.
A little later it becomes clear what led to the escalation of the situation. The West game management wanted the complete evaluation of the video surveillance of the live game – move into their headquarters in Duisburg – roulette, blackjack and poker. However, there was resistance on the part of the Casino Berlin. A judge had granted the appeal of the Executive Board later. The whole affair was going on court.
On 9 Then November saw the first demonstration against the Berlin employees leave. It was also made clear that the licensor of the Casino Berlin, namely inner Senator Körting and the Berlin Senate for the offer of the so-called “classic game” in the licensed casinos of them would care to wear.
Meanwhile, the Senate also turned on and determined that the Casino Berlin by 1 January 2011 must again offer classic game or them otherwise the license will be revoked. By deducting the roulette tables of financial management by the way miss daily income of 5,000 €.
It is now widely expected that the casino from Berlin will be offering early next year, again a classic game to keep his license as a state-licensed casino. To what extent this will be available, it is still unclear.
As the situation looks right now, said this on Wednesday Christian Thiel, dealer and council member: “Although the responsible Senate has taken action, but the operating agreement for CCTV’s game is and remains controversial. Despite modification of readiness of the Works, which is incorporated by the Senate very positive, it seems that directors are not willing to move. However, the administration asked the West game management, it must come up to 10/12/2010 of a settlement. This means nothing else than being behind closed doors still fought hard. The individual items are listed once again:
Arguments West Berlin Board Game:
According to the business center of Duisburg West game will not offer a classic game as long as long as a video surveillance of the tables is not feasible. It seems the management is to Mr. Mahler and especially so that the recorded material is evaluated in Duisburg. The video surveillance is not only for monitoring the sporting events but also the monitoring of its own employees. Just casino croupiers and of course the local management in daily handling large sums of money. The potential for fraud are many. And obviously, the manipulation of video.
And there seems to be the rabbit in the pepper actually: the West group game did not bring before the massive relocation charges against six executives of the casinos Berlin. The allegation is that some employees enriched before the move of the casino at the doses would Tronc. Tronc are the tip of the funds for the classic game whose content is usually distributed in a certain key on the staff. These cans are sealed and can only be opened by authorized personnel.
The charge of West group game is that some of the doses were to open without a key and sees it as a potential fraud. Currently, the LKA on and explores the Tronc cans.The affected employees see the blame in an attempt to complete the management level of the Casino Berlin exchange.
That something can work alone by attacking the integrity of the officers, an incident in the West proved Game Casino Aachen 1996th Then eight croupiers were fired, who had allegedly ill-gotten millions. The courts could not prove the guilt of the accused later. However, it was then set again. There were no severance pay or had any discussions with the works council or collective unwelcome commissions are out.
were also in Berlin on 18 November seven successors to senior management announced. For even if the LKA show no fraud or attempted fraud, can the affected employees are not expected to be rehabilitated by the West Game Group.
Arguments West Berlin game Employees:
For dealer Uwe Harbison, vice council of the casino Berlin, is therefore long been determined: “The management is testing us to a new business concept. It is about to disappear, the relatively expensive classic game quietly. It is precisely the dealers do at the table with each player and addiction prevention, can a machine ever. “Harbison hopes as the rest of the workforce now that the competent Senate sense management decides to Christmas and beauflagt the employer to the effect, the classic game back in full contact. “West game live up to its regulatory order are. The operator permission of the Casino Berlin is not just permission, but also an obligation.”
Arguments of the unions:
Similarly, also see the trade unions. The services union Verdi condemned the behavior of senior management “in the strongest terms.” The employer did exercise, under flimsy grounds, which had been expressed already in the ongoing collective bargaining. “The classic game is to be automated,” said Verdi leader financial services, Frank Wolf. “That means fewer employees, but more machines.” According to Ver.di gambling expert Bernhard Stracke will run in Berlin under the cover of the casino a classic gamer Hall. This was a clear breach of the Berlin Casino Act (SpBG). ” This provides for the two licensed houses in Berlin are both live-and slot machines are offered to draw a toy of the population in an orderly and to prevent evasion to illegal gambling.
Conclusion:
In the affair of the (temporary) elimination of the classic game in West Berlin casino it comes down to two key positions: first, the whole is the result of an internal power struggle which is probably a scam but is also about personal animosity. This fight will take place only in part to legitimate territory. If not already a proven allegation of dismissal or cold position reaches a whole management team, then the whole thing seems to satisfy the hard right to transparency and legal certainty in a state-controlled gambling institution. Rather, it must be assumed, that has established itself in the absence of control mechanisms, especially in the West play a quasi-mafia casinos web of fraud and self-seeking.And on the other side of the argument by senior management in Duisburg will now be collected and used for effort to undermine the regulatory order of a state-licensed casino.
The final decision on the outcome of the dispute is now up to the Berlin Senate. However, it should not exert sufficient pressure on the West group game, it comes at the Berlin Alexanderplatz perhaps soon to a small renaissanceThen the visitor can perhaps soon again risk a hundred in the shell game. The qualified “dealer” would look in any case.
