Eleven Hungarian Cities Seek Casino Licences
Eleven Hungarian cities want licences to open casinos, business daily Világgazdaság said. Currently just two casinos operate in Budapest and one in Sopron, near Hungary’s border with Austria, and the government had planned to award only nine new casino licences, the paper said.

The eleven cities are Győr, Debrecen, Szombathely, Pécs, Szeged, Miskolc, Nyíregyháza, Szentendre, Hévíz, Gyula and Balatonfüred. A recent law amendment allows casino operators to write off concession fees against the gambling tax they must pay.
