The court dismissed the concessionaire's appeal regarding the return of assets after the State rescinded the gambling monopoly contract. The State argued that all assets, including accumulated jackpot prizes, must be returned, while the concessionaire contended that only tangible assets were required. The court ruled that the obligation to return assets does not extend to the monetary value of accumulated jackpot prizes.
