Casino and Coronavirus

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I read that Las Vegas was closed for a month because of the virus’s crown, casinos are losing money while online poker is picking up players instead of spring recession. I have a question for those who often visited the casino, how You are reflected in their closure and change of live poker to online? Sincerely, Sergey.

There is no big change for me. In my country casinos with live poker game are few and the biggest one in the capital where i live was already closed in january due to different reasons not related to corona virus. Even if that was not the fact i rarely had the money to play in the casino as it is much more expensive than online. Of course live game is much better experience than online so i hope that in a few months we will have again the ability to play live poker close to our homes even if it is occasionally at least for me.

I think once this period of time is all said and done and life is "normal" again, I think cities like Las Vegas and others built heavily on tourism will still have a long time before it's back to it's normal self. While the city and casinos may open up again, a lot of the people who may want to travel there may need to focus on recovering in their health or finances first before consider a trip for fun. Also, people may still be weary about traveling to crowded places with people from all over the world and that may decrease their numbers and profits.

I agree, so happy I can still play online as I'm sheltering in place in my apartment in the epicenter, NY, but I was so sad to see Vegas on the news looking so empty and desolate. I guess there won't be a wsop this year. Hoping I'm wrong! Stay safe everyone!
