Casinos can't keep up with the current situation, they must make a profit even at this pandemic, do you think it's possible that some gambling casinos are already into underground casinos, where they only allow their old and trusted clients to play in a place that they provided, could be a mansion or a secluded building, but of course, they will guaranty all the necessary preactions to make their venue safe for their clients.
There's also a possibility that some governments will allow it because some casinos are being run by the government or they have a big cut in the revenues. Do you think it's happening right now or do you know of one in your city?

Of course there are underground casinos, though not sure that's the term I'd use.
You can just search on Craigslist, Reddit, Meetup.com etc, there's still a huge number of posts for home games for card games.
Probably not as many as there were before the lockdown, but there are still a substantial number of new posts.
The governments obviously wouldn't allow home casinos, because you need a gambling license to offer these services to ensure you provide fair games. Plus, they wouldn't get any tax revenue from these places, and they could easily be used for laundering money.

The local unlicensed casino are much more active than usual as people are at home and nothing to do. People feel a fake sense of security when you get involved within the local community and they do involve in such gambling. The most popular being different forms of poker. Though police are often raiding them if someone tipped them off.

I couldn't see how this will go well even though the government is involved. Let's not forget that, the entire world was lockeddown and going by underground gambling won't be possible in my opinion. Imagine, how those who are not on special duties go about their way to Gamble?, this can't be. Based on the panic many countries have undergo during this pandemic, any government with their right senses won't allow their citizens go about all in the name of revenue generation for the government.
In my country, the government disbanded any form of Gamble and even getting gathered was a serious crime to the government because she love and care for her citizens, and not ready to sell her citizens for revenue generation for the country.

it's no longer a secret that some casinos are still operating in this "PANDEMIC" period.. 4 days ago in my city, there was a raid conducted by the police on one of the residents' houses and that house turned out there was used as a casino and illegal drug sale, if I'm not mistaken 30+ people were arrested. I think there are still many casinos out there that operate despite restrictions from the government that are very strict during this "PANDEMIC"..

It's possible that there are underground casinos, we all know that high rollers in gambling have a good connection to authorities, some gamblers are politicians too and they can always have their way with protection too coming from the authorities but the public didn't know that these things are existing, but we all know what influential gamblers can do, even at this time.

most casinos have permission from the government, instead they pay the highest taxes to the government, since the pandemic is enforced to prevent casualties to the general public, all the casinos that are good in my city are closed temporarily, that's a strict rule from the government, although there are those who defy to open and accept clients secretly. Health is not guaranteed for clients who continue to play land casinos and violate pandemic rules, a simple example of poker. Every card that is distributed to casino participants touch each other, You know Covid-19 can be infected through direct contact such as cards, money, etc.However great they apply security for their clients the c virus remains infected, if one of their clients is infected with covid-19, so conclusions. Does not guarantee they are safe if they continue to do so and insist on doing a flat casino.

These cuts greatly affect some of the government because some countries are known for their gambling industries like Macao were in they heavily rely on the casino tax. Casino owners are probably doing something illegal like underground casinos not because they are evading the tax but because they want to recover their loss from the virus outbreak. I'm pretty sure that if underground gambling is happening, there will be gamblers that are willing to play even if there is a threat on the session they will commit. Some gamblers do have itchy hands and wanting badly to play the gambling game they want due to boringness or the addiction they have.

Any reputed casinos will not have such kind of activity which will ruin their reputation if someone caught their name and posted it on social media, but it is very much possible from the insiders or even from casino owners in anonymous way so no one can blame the casino name and still can make profits.

People feel more secure and protected just because of the local component but only until something bad happens. Then they will realise there is actually no support and no one to complain to. But sometimes people are so hungry for profit that they completely ignore legitimacy and safety even if that ends with huge inconvenience for them.

I only see makeshift gambler's pad in movies where the antagonist usually are boss of the casino. Underground casino probably possible, its is a profit making business, someone's gotta have the balls to set up and pay local officials.

If you have tried online gambling, you might not appreciate playing to this kind of casinos that somehow isn't safe. But I think its also fun to experience chased by the police when they raid an illegal casino. Kind of a hot pursuit.

For sure there are already underground casinos atm and those points you have said do really had a point. Casino owners do really need to resume out operation to make profits but on illegal aspect this time. We dont know if theyve been covered by the government or not but since we do talk about illegal thing then its definitely talks about bypassing law. These places cant be found easily but for sure they do exist yet there would be always those gamblers that do seek of to play in spite of the current pandemic situation and of course if youre filthy rich then you do easily have easy access.

No legitimate casino owner would risk operating some sort of black market gambling ring just because their casino is closed for a few months. Do you have any idea of what you're suggesting here? You think the owner of the MGM grand has poker games going on in the back room or something?

Casino is just for entertainment purposes and not an essential need of any of us it's not worth risking your life just to get a short entertainment with any of those casino out there. What is best that they can do is to transition their casino in online, since that's the only way for people to access the outside world these days. Here in my country, I was glad that the government realizes the help of digital media a couple of weeks back then they were using the house to house method to hand the cash assistance now they are in partnership with digital payment processors. See how this serves a great use? Casinos should hire web developers, programmers etc. to make their online platform and just put their casino brand on it, advertise then that's it!

They have been always a thing around where I live. Unlicensed, illegal. They don't last long though. Sooner or later somebody gets hurt after losing too much money, the police intervenes, some people get arrested and then they disappear.
I don't believe covid19 affected them in a positive way. These guys don't give a shit about anything.

No doubt that in these strange times many casinos are working underground. Damn, I know some barbershops and gyms who been working underground when they were forced to close. So, casinos isn't exception. I don't know does these taking all precautions, probably not. But I think, first of all people shouldn't expect that someone will work hard to protect them. People first should try to protect themselves. And if they are going to such casinos now should accept all risks and later don't blame anyone if they got inffected. After all, casinos is probably safer place than shops were we are going to buy food every day ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

They exist, and believe me when I say that sometimes, the money that they raise on those platforms are also large and even on-par with small to medium-sized casinos. Countries in Asia--particularly SEA--have these underground gambling platforms in play. Oftentimes the local law enforcement groups are protecting these underground casinos in exchange for protection money. Heck, even a few blocks from where I live, government officials meet up and play mahjong and other card games everyday!

It is happening but we have to think about whether this is bad.
The market has its own rules and when there's demand somebody will make sure there's a supply.
People have the right to choose their own fate. If they want to gamble because they're not afraid of the virus we should let them.

You mean casinos that are running illegally? I guess there are such casinos, but I doubt you will know anything about them, right? I mean, there are reasons why they are hiding and running illegally. Probably they use illegally obtained money to gamble. Who knows whats happening in there. I doubt legit casinos would go underground. The risk is too high and they might even lose their license.

We already have this kind of scenario, not just happening because of this pandemic but they're already there on the first place. There are legitimate casinos who also runs this type of business so they can gather too much money to feed themselves. Do you think it's happening right now or do you know of one in your city?
I think YES would be the answer, Philippines is one of the countries that has an large number of crimes so definitely it's possible.
