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.
