Yes, there was a lockdown, and casinos didn't work! It's why I wrote they had a long break! After lockdown, they started with a shorter working time, but for some time they are working their "normal hours"! My sister is working in a casino, so it's where I get information about this... I am not going to land-based casinos!
I agree, online casinos are becoming more popular! But that doesn't mean that ground casinos will disappear! Some people simply like to visit them, and for them, gambling is about going there, talk with people, gambling... drinking coffee or something stronger while doing all that!
Physical casinos are always going to exist because they offer a different experience than what you can get out of online casinos, but online casinos are gaining a lot of ground not only because of the pandemic that is still in place, they are gaining in popularity as well because the minimum bets in those casinos are smaller and you do not have to give a tip to every single person working there and when we add the variety of games offered in online casinos then it becomes obvious why online casinos have become so popular over the years.
