What is Wild Frames?
Wiesbaden’s higher slot machine tax will stay in force after the Hessian Higher Administrative Court in Kassel upheld the city’s move to raise the rate from 5% to 7.5% from 1 January 2024.
According to the court’s statement, the judges rejected challenges from gaming hall operators and said the city’s public decision was legally sound.
The ruling preserved a revenue measure the city says was designed to bring in up to €1 million according to the court’s own summary.
About Wild Frames
Carrot Top, uniquely, was game.
He had no problem inviting a reporter to his home (alongside his real assistant, Jeff Molitz) to wake him up, or giving us the assignment of procuring a radio-controlled taxi for one of his prop jokes.
To prepare for our temporary gig, we attended our first Carrot Top show.
About Wild Frames
Arbitrators found against the companies and ordered them to pay millions of dollars toward Laos’ legal costs and expenses.
One tribunal found in 2019 that Lao Holdings had acted in bad faith and ordered it to pay Laos $1.95 million. Another made a similar finding against Sanum and awarded the government $1.78 million.
A third arbitration produced another award worth nearly $1.3 million, taking the amount Laos is seeking to more than $5 million.
