Private television The Lotteries and Betting Section of the Federal Office of Justice considers Sat.1 Switzerland's "Call & Win" and Viva Switzerland's "Easy Cash" to be "games of chance in disguise." Viewers of the programs try to solve picture and number puzzles via a paid telephone number. Section head Reto Brand told SDA that the games are very difficult to solve. At the same time, it is random whether you are put through. Brand has forwarded the case to the canton of Zurich. If a violation is proven, the case will go to the criminal court, according to Peter Schärer, who is responsible for lottery law at the canton.
