Is it a Chinese group that is competing with Grupo Pestana for the Casino da Madeira?

dnoticias.pt15 September 2026 at 17:00

DIÁRIO reported that two applications were submitted to operate fortune or gambling games in the gaming zone of Funchal, Madeira. One of the applications is from ITI – Sociedade de Investimentos Turísticos da Ilha da Madeira, belonging to Grupo Pestana. The other application is from Sociedade Figueira Praia, which operates the Casino da Figueira da Foz and is linked to the Cirsa group. The news was published on a Monday and generated comments, including on DIÁRIO's Facebook page. The article does not mention any Chinese group in the dispute for the operation of the Casino da Madeira.

Why this matters

Readers in the Madeira region follow this dispute with interest, as the choice of casino operator will have an impact on tourism and the local economy. The clarification about Cirsa's Spanish origin, rather than Chinese as was interpreted, shows the importance of reliable local sources for accurate information about business matters that affect the community.

Find out which expenses you should not use this card for

Banco de Portugal warns of nine situations where the use of a credit card can turn one-off expenses into prolonged and costly charges: paying off other card debts, taxes, loan installments, house deposits, tuition fees, health expenses, unverified online purchases, recurring daily expenses, and cash withdrawals. The maximum APR for credit cards is 18.5%, significantly higher than that of personal credit (8.9% for health and education). The BdP recommends always analyzing the repayment method before using the card, comparing costs, and contacting the institution if difficulties arise, using the Banking Customer Support Network.
