The UK’s gambling scene is once again hit by COVID-19 lockdowns. The gambling field was just coming alive after the massive losses in the first months of this year. It was just starting to recover from the crisis but the second wave of a pandemic is here so everyone, who hoped that the coronavirus was finally fading away, is now dealing with disappointment. The UK’s economy was just getting back to the right track of living when COVID-19 reappeared. This Friday, at 6 pm, 366 gambling shops will be closed.
The whole gaming industry was massively hit by the crisis and ongoing issues of people’s health. Wales is not the only region that experiences major letdown, Lancashire and Merseyside saw their casinos in the same situation. These issues are not affecting online casinos only. Online casinos are also in a panic trying to offer as much incentive to players to come back online as possible. For example, a recent surge in no deposit bonus codes for RTG casinos clearly provides a picture of desperation as companies scramble for the few people remaining that can afford to play in casinos.
In September, casinos were told to shut their bars after 10pn to avoid job losses. The whole unemployment rate is growing in the country.
When the casinos will reopen?
When the casinos will reopen? No one knows the answer, because coronavirus is still here and it is also returning in other countries. The uncertainty is still growing and people are getting exhausted by the whole situation. The big cities in the UK and other countries are facing a spike in coronavirus cases and everything is fueled by “COVID fatigue”. Meaning that people and countries are tired of coronavirus. Everyone is exhausted by the challenges of a pandemic. People are already giving up, they don’t care if they will get an infection or not. Everything including casinos is closing again in every country.
Some people think that in the future, the public may rebel against government restrictions. We all were thinking that coronavirus was away in September, but now we need to once more practice social distancing, work from home, and wear masks. London is in a living disaster. Millions of businesses are losing money. People are losing their jobs and Britain is getting a lonely place right now, so no one has exact information about reopening anything in the country.
How will casinos work when they reopen?
When the coronavirus will finally fade away, the casinos will surely have new behavioral systems. People are already used to hygiene and respiratory etiquette. The COVID-19 continues to affect everything and everyone across the country. It comes with no surprise that people will be more cautious after casinos are reopened and casinos will have a higher responsibility to protect consumers more than ever.
As for now, fever consumers are gambling. Even online casinos are lacking customers because people are jobless and everyone is trying to save their money for the worst because no one is aware of what will be happening in the future. The lockdown period had a huge impact on people and it will continue to affect people negatively. People’s mental health has worsened and they can’t even treat themselves with therapy or medicine because they can’t afford it. The whole year has been up and down like a rollercoaster.
The worst thing is that children and young people are also affected by lockdown. Their mental health is unbalanced and hard to deal with parents who are also having financial problems. People are eager for the pandemic to go away and everyone is waiting for reopening places and borders. The UK’s population is really enjoying the gambling scene. It is a kind of a tradition for them to go to casinos with families or friends.
Now, no one has any idea how everything will be after the pandemic. People are having the fear of spending money already. The financial crisis is growing and millions of people are left with no income at all. We all are still confused by a coronavirus. It has been 11 months of living with COVID-19 and despite the fact that scientists were trying to help the people, coronavirus is still here and no one is returning to normal life yet.
