Las Vegas closes casinos and hotels in lieu of coronavirus

[ethereumhunter]

The boomer doomer virus is blown way out of proportion..

I think something else is going on behind the scenes and this virus is a distraction of some type.

Possibly yes, I read a conspiracy article about this outbreak is to create financial crisis on the stock market which was created by some private big hands.But I don't trust it too much still we are getting more attention about corona which is less harm compared to other deadly diseases we faced in the past two decades.

I think that can be possible too, but still, that will be a mystery for us to know who is behind this crisis since the virus is already spread in almost countries. Closing the casino will be a good solution for temporary for many people who usually go to the casino to gamble so they can prevent from getting infected from the virus. Right now, many countries have lockdown their country from the visitor that wants to come to their country, so closing down the casino can help people too.

This could be a time when they would be able to use online gambling sites.

It could be possible that a lot of gamblers would be using cryptocurrencies. I know that gamblers would not just sit in their houses just watching television or playing games. They would find alternatives to gamble and they would be obviously looking for currencies they could use online and they might find cryptocurrencies interesting though banks are still accepting transactions so they might use that too.

crypto thru banks ?  thats rare but if ever there are countries do that , im sure they are likely closed too because of the global virus issue   . mostly banks dont accept crypto including on our own but i only use a third party provider to convert my fiat to crypto or crypto to fiat and in that way i can use banks or atms  . luckily there are few open atm's that we can use here to withdraw   .  anyway , its good too that las vegas also comply to the lock down and for once they have sacrifice thier business or income potential for the sake of others  . i salute them

I said, "though banks are still accepting transactions so they might use that too."

I am not referring to banks that accepts Bitcoin or Bitcoin transactions, what I am saying is banks that allow transactions through gambling sites. That is why there is that word "too" at the end.

well at least Las Vegas is now concern about Gamblers?i thought they are just concern for the profit they will get from players lol.

this has been done few days back because the spread is now very alarming and getting outside China .

many countries now are becoming the Most affected of this Virus.

so all Gamblers Please play online using your Cryptocurrency to help the market grow and also for you to keep safe.

You have the correct thought. The casinos no.1 concern is always profit similar to any other business. As a business, they should do everything to protect their employees and help everyone else by shutting down to help stop the spreading of the virus among its source of profit, the players hehehehe.

It is a simple business decision.

In a huge blow to the gambling community Las Vegas casinos, and hotels are shutting down to prevent the spread of coronavirus and as a fellow gambler I can feel the pain of the gamblers who won’t be able to gamble, but as a human being I feel that they had no other choice except to close down the hotels and the casinos. Also if you’re addicted to gambling then you can always gamble at online casinos, and if you wish to check some of the best online casinos visit the gambling section out here.

Gamblers and gambling operators doesn't really have a choice about the casino's events or tournaments being cancelled due to corona virus for the safety of all gamblers. Once this virus is gone or vaccinated successfully then the tournaments and other gambling operations will continue and gamblers can do what they want to do.

Security and safety first before our hobby or relation to the gambling business. Everyone has to sacrifice. I've seen huge companies that have protected their employees and customers more than their own interest and that is to profit.
But, others that are still operating because they have the least concern and they're not affected.

The Star Casino have just sent an email around stating they will close their three casinos for four hours each day:

    The Star Sydney close from 6am-10am daily
    The Star Gold Coast close from 4am-8am daily and
    Treasury Brisbane close from 4am-8am daily.

Both Star Entertainment Group (ASX - SGR) and Crown Casino's (ASX - CWN) share prices have fallen noticeably on the ASX over the last ten days.  I haven't checked on the other smaller Casinos, but they will be taking a hit as well.

Prevention measures must be taken to prevent the spread of the virus. Las Vegas has a great entertainment industry such as well-known casinos and hotels worldwide.
Players will have a choice of online casinos but it is not the same to be in a live casino, the environment is what attracts the most attention and attracts these sites.

I am really alarmed by this issue. Although the crypto community is continuing to build its ecosystem by doing it remotely, the consequences will be seen later.
Something very dangerous happened around the appearance of this new virus, Covid19. Yet it is not known with certainty how everything happened. Now there is a tirade that the Chinese government says the United States introduced the virus to Wuhan.

Wait for another week and you will the stock markets globally will dive down. A lot of preventive measures have to be put in place in order to contain this virus. These measures will surely drag down the global economy and especially the stock market.

Till now most of the existing preventive measures have fail to contain the virus.

It would've been better if important businesses operate in open space (probably won't work well in cities & towns) with good spacing between employees and customers, plus other preventative measures. Just hope businesses don't close for too long. The result could be worse than the problem they are trying to stop. The governments should just ensure that people don't get too close to each other or crowd together.

I can feel it but the main priority right now of the people around the world is their safety so they choose not to gamble too for their safety and aside from that, casinos and some of the hotels are being shut down. They don't any other choice since they don't want to risk other lives for the sake of money so closing temporarily is the best thing that they can do and at least there are some gamblers who will spend their time with other people too .

Well, we heard some news that the virus was created by someone but of course we can't believe on that easily.

I have thought this theory too that China has created this virus to reduce our global population. We know already that the number of people here are increasing day by day so they are secretly making different kinds of viruses in a secret lab that will be used for their plan to reduce population. This is just my theory so no evidences at all. Just a random shit that came out of my mind.

I've now received emails from both the Star Entertainment Group (Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sydney) as well as the Crown Casino (Melbourne) stating they are continuing operations, but are ramping up their cleanliness routines.  Given both Australia and New Zealand have introduced mandatory self-isolation for all arrivals from overseas for fourteen days, I expect both Casino groups will stay open.

Good thing for those people who play into those casinos yet in spite of the current pandemic they do still consider out to be operational.Hopefully they do really have that strict implementation on checking out every person that do visit out that place.

Actually this doesnt only affect most of gamblers but also into casino owners itself. Just imagine on how would be their loss if they do close its doors temporarily?
Both parties are being affected.

Some people are hard-headed and they still go to casino even if its prohibited by the government, but that's fine because the casinos are closing because they also care to the health of their customers. Most of them are old and they are the one who can easily get the covid-19. According to the statistics, most of the people died in the virus are 50+ yrs old and above. So if you know someone who is old and addicted to gambling, please let them know that it is safer to play gambling online for the meant time. Teach them how to use technology so that they aren't urge to go outside just to play gambling. Take care of your family, spend time with your family, and let them know the do's and dont's during this kind of events. Don't risk your life for the sake of money instead but goods and essential things during quarantine.

This is a very good measure and some say that it is major cutback for gambling industry but I think that this is more likely affecting people who are profitting in the industry but on the bright side, this makes a good chance for online casinos to flourish because a lot of gambling enthusiast will be happy though the feel and ambiance of a real casino will be removed but atleast there will be no increase in spread of infected in the pandemic.

Now almost all countries experience the same thing, not only Las Vegas, which is known as the largest casino in the world, the same fate is also experienced in casinos in the city where I live, very chaotic and messy, once a city of entertainment, casinos, women, now has become a ghost town uninhabited.

I don't know when this will end it is really ironic that happened in 2020, disaster after disaster, Worse, places of worship, schools, entertainment, hotels are all closed .
