COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World

[Finestream]

Still, we couldn't skip the fact that even there's a virtual world on gambling there are still people that will go on the physical places where they have to go and work for and that's the gamble of them.

They won't be going to work if people will stop going to the casino, they will possibly close business for awhile while the disease is still not contained well.

Even if we can play online there's a possibility that it may be offline as well if employees will not go on to their corresponding offices. It will be good if there's really a gambling platform where employees work remotely at all.

Employees at least know that they are safe compared to people going them meeting random people, so it's still good for them if they have an online site since they can certainly take precautions to prevent from getting infected of such disease.

and if this happens?that the gamblers turns in Online gaming to prevent from being affected of this virus .

this will favor our crypto community,people will surely look for 'Chips' to play online gambling and for sure,they will find Cryptocurrency to use as gambling materials .

no wonder if this victims  continue to increase?then our players here will also increase.

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

Nice input but you cant tell that people would totally consider out crypto yet online casinos with fiat do still exist already for a long time.How you wouldnt count that one?

COVID doesnt only affect gambling industry but all sorts that do connect out fiat bank notes yet this is my first knowing about that it can possibly transmitted through money.

All transactions that do connects out will be mainly affected and hopefully this epidemic would be over and just waiting up for the vaccinne.

I've seen in the Star Casino Gold Coast and Brisbane the occasional dealers wearing paper surgical face-masks.  Not everyone is wearing, just the occasional person, so I'm guessing the individual employee is taking precautions on their own as opposed to the employer asking everyone to wear them.

The first time I saw them I was a little surprised as I would have thought Casinos wouldn't want *anyone* wearing face-masks for security reasons.

That's why we will be heading to a cashless society soon.

Look at this news : China is sterilizing cash in an attempt to stop the coronavirus spreading

There's a fear already and this would soon result to online money being use for transaction, it's safer that way and hopefully that could affect the improvement of crypto market as eventually these people would also choose to gamble online.

Out of curiosity, are you by chance from China?

This is a good step because i read that some people who are already contacted the virus are the reason why the virus spread like wildfire and this was the reason why the Chinese government implemented the law to stop the spreading of the virus. In the meantime, the whole situations will make gamblers use online casino and crypto currency more than before.

Security reasons must have become a secondary concern now that the presence of COVID-19 could be just around any corner or right in the person in front of you. Wearing face masks may not be required from everyone in casinos but I think they need to start observing healthy precautions, especially in tourism casinos where the majority of the clients are coming from everywhere in the world. The risk is too high for these casino workers. Prevention is always better than cure.

Casino players here in my place are not prohibited nor required to wear face masks but the standard protocol has always been observed at the entrance; everyone will have to remove their face masks, caps, shades, and whatever headwear they're wearing for identification and recording purposes.

That's is a good control and they need to strictly implement that as if one player carrying the disease can enter the place, it could easily infected the others, of course if they are gambling, it's very uncomfortable wearing a face mask, I wouldn't do that if I am constantly going into casinos.

It's funny they say you have to remove head-ware (baseball caps etc) and then you wander over to the Texas Hold Em tables and the sharks are there with the dark glasses (even at night indoors) and caps or even the classic poker cap trying to hide their gaze from others.

[YuginKadoya]

No one is safe with this kind of virus and anything that may have possible contact with a person so physical Casino is not safe in the one that will be hit tremendously I think the gambling world will just have a slight problem about this because right now there are online Casino's and I think Bitcoin gambling is helpful with these kinds of situations, and right now we really need to be online at all times to surely avoid contact with people and prevent having the COVID 19 virus.

This year I am working in Albania a country with a really bad public health sector and there are three confirmed cases here which I think it will spread just like in Italy because there started with two people and the ones who brought the virus here are a father and a son coming with car from Firenze.

Casinos just like other place where many different people are gathered are a big risk to get infected just like is the stadium,cinema or theater.Europe will suffer a heavy recession if things go like they are going.

The one who invented this virus are really successful in causing an economic trouble globally. It has now being one of the biggest threat of mankind, I was thinking that China will be able to contained it but I was wrong, the disease just keep spreading in different countries and it's really bad for countries where heath safety is not good or not on standard, for now, we need to be careful, not going to public places would really help, so if you are a gambler and loves to go in a physical casino, we should lay low for now.

We all know that there is a virus outbreak named COVID-19 and it's spreading quickly throughout the entire globe. Though preventive and and can be somehow cured and be reduced by healing the specific symptoms one-by-one (based on Is there a cure for the new coronavirus? by Stephanie Pappas), there are still numerous cases in which would affect soon every single person on the planet.

So you're saying that every single person in the world will be affected with this virus?? How sure you are that all of the 7 Billion+ people will be affected? COVID-19 can be a pandemic in the future base on how fast it is spreading right now but to affect every person is a bit exaggerating for me. The largest pandemic happened in the whole world is the infamous "Black Death" which affected only 75-200 MILLION people.

can be passed in a lot of different ways, more likely to be through physical contact. And it is obvious that most gambling (especially physical casinos) were bombarded with strangers that aren't that assured if do have the disease or not, and has a high chance where many physical contact occurs (like passing of bank notes and bets).

The main way the virus is being transmitted to other people is thru droplets. Passing of bank notes and other things that came from the host person can be a transmitter of virus. In offline gambling (casinos), a single person who has a COVID-19 can spread the virus throughout the whole place and can affect many people.

But then think of it. Casino is a common and usual place where people do often make contact not only by oral communication but also with touching bank notes, casino coins, and even dices and other things used in betting. Therefore, there is a huge chance that COVID-19 would drastically decrease the physical gambling and do somehow can change gamblers' physical gambling onto digital one. And with that, it can somehow increase the community of overall cryptocurrency.

With what is happening right now, the revenue of the casino's can go down drastically because gamblers will not go to a casino and risk their life there especially if their country already has cases of the said virus but on the other side online gambling sites can increase their revenue too because gamblers who can't control themselves will just try to gamble online. It can increase the community yes if they choose to gamble using crypto. There are some sites who are accepting fiat currencies too .

I do not know the process in other countries but in most establishments here in my particular city, not just in casinos but also in schools, malls, and so on, anything worn in the head or in the face such as face masks will have to be removed as soon as you enter, but when you are already inside you are free to use them. Those are not prohibited, after all. You just have to remove them in the entrance so that the security personnel and perhaps the CCTV as well could have a clear view of your face. That is basically a security protocol. When you are already in the Holdem table or just wandering around jumping from one game to another, you are completely free to wear all kinds of masks and shades and caps.

what about the chips? if banknotes were the cause why the virus spreadout, the chips can also be the cause.  its going to be risky for a gambler out there. he would surely miss his gambling habit if he is quarantined. its best to just do it online and stay home infront of the desktop or he can do it in the phone while watching corona virus updates.

Well yea, no one is safe, but I doubt physical casinos not being safe is an overstatement. As far as I know, they should've already performed meticulous security regarding the entry of certain players that may display certain symptoms of the virus, and there's also the notion of them making sure that every item in their possession is completely disinfected and safe from anything that could potentially let users get the virus.

Still, those physical casinos would probably see a drop in customer entries, especially with most people avoiding going outside if they can. Probably a choice to avoid spending more money in case of being hospitalized.

[White Christmas]

maybe one of the main reason why this thread has been made is because to know the effect of the go with 19 to the gambling world which is the purpose is to be careful and everytime we are playing or gambling because there are different ways on how to spread covered 19 just like for example if you are dumpling are playing in a casino then probably you are having a physical contact with other person who is playing with you or gambling with you and there's a negative effect of it to the gambling world because if this happens the casino will be the one who will prevent this kind of situation.

Well, as far as I've read, banknotes are not the cause of the virus spread. No need to single it out. When someone infected coughs or sneezes on anything, be it money or chip or ball or stone or railing or whatever, and you made contact on that object and you touched your eyes or nose or face, you might end up getting infected. So make sure to avoid touching your face if you haven't washed your hands yet with water or soap, sanitizer, or alcohol.

The best way is to avoid crowded places. That, of course, includes casinos. If you don't feel any fun at all gambling in front of your desktop but you want to be safe, you better forget gambling for a while and look for some other fun thing to do. If you want to take the risk and continue to play at casinos, you just have to make sure to wear a face mask and avoid touching your face with your unwashed hands.

If a gambler is quarantined for a few weeks, that would help him avoid spreading the virus, especially to his family, if he is indeed positive of it. But not only that, it would also help him reduce his gambling loss. And who knows, he might find a new hobby or fun activity that is less costly while in quarantine?

The best way to avoid the virus is to gamble online, real-world casinos are dangerous! since the crowd there might be too much sometimes and a lot of foreigners will go there also so, the virus might spread there even though there's only one carrier there. Online gambling is the best way to avoid it since you're not going to interact to any people and you will be safe from the virus.

Chips, Cards, people etc. lot things might be tool for infection of NCOV so, I highly suggest that you should stay home and as much as possible don't go out to avoid the virus. Prevention is better than cure! Stay safe my fellow gamblers.

Chips look to be fairly durable.  There's no reason why at the end of the day they aren't put into the Casino equivalent of a dishwasher and get a clean - even if it's only a quick rinse-off.
