COVID-19 Impact on the Global Casino Market
The deadly COVID-19 outbreak has brought all operations and activities in casinos to a standstill. They were opened after implementing the use of sanitizers and masks and social distancing measures to curb the spread of the virus. Social distancing points between slot machines and non-invasive tests at entry points are likely to drive customers and also ensure their safety. On the contrary, the crisis has restricted construction projects and renovation projects with the biggest casinos halting their plans.

Entertainment options are restricted yet are being offered at much selected venues. California’s Fantasy Spring Resort offers music on Sundays by Latin artists during the outbreak. The dining services provided at these venues with food being served at the customers’ tables and buffets being scrapped. Yet the impact of cardrooms can impact the profit margins of casinos at this period.

The pandemic on the other hand is favorably impacting the online casino market. To curtail the spread of the virus, countries across the world have imposed tight restrictions and promoted social distancing. Stringent restrictions on the movement of the people had a noteworthy impact on casino operations that are land-based. As a result most players have shifted focus to online casinos due to land-based gambling lockdown.

Industry Updates
Esports Technologies has joined hands with Spinomenal, a leading casino games provider. The game provider agreement will enable Esports Technologies in offering casino games with the high opportunity of winning real money on Gogawi.com, its international direct-to-consumer platform. The expanded offerings will allow sports bettors as well as esports in placing wagers on both casino games as well as leading esports matches and tournaments on just any device, on the go or at home.

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely
