Though the covid-19 and it's effect like lockdowns and social distancing have a negative impact on the physical casino but they have became a boom for online ones.
Negative impact is given, but to say "to boom the online", Online casinos are popular as the physical ones way before the pandemic strikes.
Though, some of this casinos are now operational again but yeah, We can say that it will be a struggle at first given that they must operate under the given protocols by it's Government.
But, It's still impossible for this casinos to shutdown.
The attractiveness of physical casinos were already struggling and this would just catalyze their downturn. Most of the younger generation would prefer crypto and online gambling as there are none or very few strings attached while physical casinos are too social and awkward.
Again, it's struggling due pandemic but let us remember that this won't last for lifetime (especially that the vaccine is almost out).
"Younger Generation" - I disagree on this, given the fact that there are a lot of companies laid off there employees due to the pandemic. Would you think that most of this younger generation have the capacity to gamble? (Maybe, let's give an exemption for those who were born with enough money cash from there parents
)And lastly, Physical casinos (based on what I observed, as I normally visited a local casino where I usually held a meeting) They are implementing strict social distancing protocol, and less awkward. Why, Less awkward? The fact that there are limited players around, most likely it would be a meter a part from one another. Tbh, It's quite fun and still exciting. (But, A gentle reminder just be cautious whenever you visit one)
