The government is taking this as an opportunity to increase the tax and the problem is that they will be using the pandemic as an excuse to increase the tax

If the country is really got heavily affected by the pandemic, it's just reasonable to increase tax on some performing industries amid the pandemic. Gambling is no doubt one of the top-performing industries so to consider them adding some tax to them just makes sense.

However, it's not just about the increase but that 20% tax is to encourage other gamblers to gamble as for sure if the casino operations will face a much higher tax than usual, they might pass some fees increase on their bettors.

In the long run, let's see if this planned of government is really effective to reduce the gambling activity in their country.

We really can't blame the government if it finally decides to raise taxes. This is an unpopular decision but the government must take to save
the country's economy. All countries are now affected by the pandemic, So it's natural for the government to raise taxes. Including increasing
the gambling industry taxes, maybe this will make casinos increase fees to gamblers, but casinos don't want to lose their gamblers either.
Then I think the cost increase will not be too significant. So gamblers don't have to worry about this tax increase, we are all definitely affected
by this pandemic. But there is also the possibility of some small gamblers, so reduce their gambling time because there is an increase in fees
at the casino.
