If the granted license is surrendered after being put into operation, the licensee shall continue to operate the games of chance for a period set by the Federal Minister of Finance, which shall not exceed one year. If the granted license subsequently lapses, the licensee shall continue to operate the games of chance for a period set by the Federal Minister of Finance, which shall not exceed 18 months. These periods shall be such that upon expiration the Federal Government or a new licensee will be able to operate the games of chance.”  However, the offer is somehow limited.
