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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

earnings? who are you trying to kid.I don't like Ontario's Casino. Sports betting is the main part of my additional earnings.
