A court in Linz, Austria has referred three questions dealing with casino licensing and advertising to the European Court of Justice.

The questions involve current laws and practices in Austria, which has a monopoly casino operator in Casinos Austria, and seek answers relating to the legitimacy of laws and practices as they relate to Articles 43 and 49 in recent amendments to the original E.U. Treaty.

The ECJ decision, when rendered, could have bearing on the long-running controversy surrounding the question of casino monopolies in all E.U. member states.
