Wonder how Ontario's Casino's like being on ''the other side'' for a change. I do feel very sorry for the employee's though.
Not sure what you meant by "it failed miserably". In 2019 (the last year of proper operations before covid hit) had the US casino sector hit a new high for revenue.I was in this field for 20 years. Thanks for the sentiment Spankingman, yes we are in trouble. Fingers crossed I get some sort of severance, but it will be catastrophic for the operators paying that out for so many at once. Not sure what's going to happen. I theorize that they will keep them closed till a majority of employees move on to find other jobs then they'll deal with it. We will get screwed in some form.
@ILOVETHIS, the greedy brainiacs at the OLG dreamt that it was a good idea opening so many casinos and that they would make sooo much money. The idea was always doomed to fail. The US tried this already called 'Gaming sectors' andnit failed miserably. Where the hell was all the money going to come from? Stupid! And it killed the industry. Online gaming will take over, but do you really trust that?I wouldn't.
US Casino industry has changed so much, it's no longer the so called "gaming sector" that he is talking about which is the money maker for casinos in the USA more specifically Las Vegas.Not sure what you meant by "it failed miserably".

Gambling addiction is one of the worst I've seen on people. I've witnessed it on a friend...now they are mostly doing it online. I'd prefer this hobby over gambling...I rarely lose...With this shut down of the casinos in Canada and USA, I hope that the problem gamblers realize they have have a problem. I gamble but I can afford it. With this time off, I see how much money I have saved and am very happy. Do I miss gambling? Not one bit. I hope others stop gambling. When they do open back up, there will be less patrons there in my opinion. There are too many casinos anyways.
Still glad I'm addicted to women, rather than gambling. Never have gotten that sense of euphoria from a random stroke of luck, like others seem to. So much so that I don't even see the point of slots. You're just mindlessly pulling a lever (or hitting a button). What's fun in that? That's pure addiction to fortune. And it's the most profitable money-maker for casinos; go figure.You're paying for entertainment. Be it women or craps. Some people pay too much for women and some people pay too much for craps.
The online sports betting market has grown during the pandemic.With this shut down of the casinos in Canada and USA, I hope that the problem gamblers realize they have have a problem. I gamble but I can afford it. With this time off, I see how much money I have saved and am very happy. Do I miss gambling? Not one bit. I hope others stop gambling.

earnings? who are you trying to kid.I don't like Ontario's Casino. Sports betting is the main part of my additional earnings.
I was involved for 21 years but on the Racetrack side but we worked very closely with Casino staff. I saw the megabucks being thrown around on BOTH sides from the start as I was at a large Racetrack-Casino venue. I used draw a circle using our site and say within 150 km there were over 10 Casinos possibly more flooding the market. But the SLOTS did save the Racing Industry in Ontario when implemented in 1999.I was in this field for 20 years. Thanks for the sentiment Spankingman, yes we are in trouble. Fingers crossed I get some sort of severance, but it will be catastrophic for the operators paying that out for so many at once. Not sure what's going to happen.
