The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the criminal appeal against a defendant found playing bingo in a sports club. The prosecution alleged a violation of the Games of Chance and Gambling Law, but failed to prove the club held a license or that the defendant actively participated in the game. Consequently, the court ruled that mere presence without evidence of participation or an unlicensed venue does not constitute the offense.
