Spanish term or phrase: banca // tope de banca
Talking about Casinos here, specifically the differences between state and privately run casinos. I'm not sure what 'banca' is.

Pero la burocracia es lenta, tortuosa, trabaja a contramano de las exigencias de los tiempos que corren. Los concursos de precios o licitaciones para determinadas compras viajan todavía en carreta. La implementación de un nuevo juego, un cambio de ***banca o tope de banca ***obliga a la iniciación de un expediente del que sólo se sabe cuando comienza, pero jamás cuando termina
