Casino Shutdown

[Dunamisx]

Am not referring to shutting down a casino because or license/regulations.
Neither am I referring to a shutdown as a result of bankruptcy or hack.

Here's what I meant.

If you ever experience a casino shutdown as a result of violence or illegal activities from a physical casino?

Share your experience from any and what happened that led to the shutdown, this will help us to learn and know how we could possibly prevent ourselves from any similar occurrences and remain unaffected in situations whereby it happened.

If a physical casino got shutdown because of violence or illegal activities, it doesn't affect the gamblers much because in cases like that, the players must have already received their payment from the casino before they can shut down the place.

I have not experience this but an illegal activity that might cause this could be money laundering case or if some customers were allowed to fight to death in the casino, apart from that, I don't think there are issues that are more serious than this ones.

The major ways that gamblers can be affected in such situation is that they will have  to start looking for another casino to gamble and if it's a city where the next casino is far from most gamblers, it will become more stressful for those gamblers to go to the next casino.

If it's not for license/regulations or bankruptcy reasons, what should be the reason in your opinion OP? Usually physical casinos shut down their activities because of confirmed accusations of fraud or money laundering involvement which are all under regulations category. I can't understand what do you mean by saying shut down because of violence. If players fight against each other the casino can't operate, unless you refer to illegal locations. Better to avoid going to those locations because you will be exposed to many risks including losing your whole life.

In my country, some years ago there was a massive closure of casinos and bookies which had a physical location, it was mainly because the government started to tightly regulate gambling and also because some of those casinos were used to launder money. I recall a the specific case of a casino which was locales in a five start hotel in a city next to mine, such casino was closed and it did not opened again until recent years, when regulations on gambling got lax and people were allowed to gamble again, as much as they wanted.

It was not necessarily a violent situation, at all. But it was important for the gambling history in my country, in which a totalitarian nutjob can ban gambling with little restriction if he wants.

There are situations like fight in a casino and this may be a brutal one leading to a shutdown even before the government intervention, also, in some cases, the shutdown may com from government, but not because of their non compliance to their regulations like that of license, but government taking decisions to lock down a physical casino because of violence taken place in the casino, there could be cases of rape, theft, fight and so many others, just as we know can happen in a physical casino and the operators or government decided to shutdown activities there.

This means that the physical casino does not have tight security so brutal fights can occur, but however, casinos are usually anticipated by this so it is unlikely to happen, I mean it doesn't happen often in physical casinos.

The government making the decision to close the casino means that the owner must be prepared to bear all of it, you could say that this is the negligence of the security in the casino so that the negative things you mentioned are the casino's own fault.

They must be responsible for all this, maybe the government will name a suspect.

Like a temporary closure due to some ruckus that's happening? I haven't experienced this if you meant it for the physical casinos. I think even if there will be fights like a rumble, the security detail of a casino is stronger than we can ever think. They're processing deposits and withdrawals that are too big for them not to invest into security and just one call away, the police and other way to stop these fights and crimes will be there in a few minutes. These fights can destroy their assets and that's why they have already thought of it before they start the operations.

Never seen a casino around me shut down for violence or anything like that. Usually they file bankruptcy and reopen under new management. Not sure really how that happens as I think a casino is a license to print money, but I have seen it happen a few times before shutting down for good.

It wasn’t a personal experience though, but there was a time when a man came running to a shop, I don’t mean literally running but rather you could see in his behavior that something wasn’t right and he was in a hurry to sort something out and when the man inquired what was wrong he said that his shop (a gambling center) was in chaos because one of the gamblers there placed a bet and it entered and according to him he doesn’t have enough cash with him to sort it out, so he’s looking for where to get before he’ll sort things out properly and during that period his shop wasn’t functioning as he wasn’t there to help people book games.

I was really curious, as to how those centers worked because this whole thing happened before I even started gambling so I had no idea how gambling sites work and also how those physical gambling centers pay their customers if it’s from their own wallet or if they just bet for the gambler and then withdraw the money from the site after they have won.

This is the only story I know that lead to the “shutdown” of the gambling center like you asked.

Well, it is not necessarily a license to print money. Casinos and bookies are businesses, and as any other business they need human management in other to function accordingly, if the management is bad then it does not matter how good the market and business itself is, bankruptcy would be inevitable and just a matter of time.

It reminds me the case of TRUMP casino, an actual casinos which served itself from the image and name of Trump to attract clients, but it filed for bankruptcy and got demolished.

So a casino can definitely fail and there is some risk for the house as well, not because of the ineffectiveness of the edge, but rather from the way the house decides to manage it's resources.

Disagreements that sometimes lead to quarrels and fights sometimes happen in physical betting shops. One of the reasons is that these gamblers place unofficial bets among themselves, which could lead to conflict. If you are there when fights break out, seek for means to leave the premises to avoid becoming a victim of stray punches or dangerous weapons.

If these fights become constant or turn violent, shutting the betting place is a good idea.

Avoiding physical casinos might be a good means of not becoming a victim. There are a variety of online casinos that offer the same services. Another measure will be visiting well-managed physical casinos that have active security personnel on the ground.

Just like others said, if the casino is legal and operating under a valid license, the gamblers in that casino shouldn't face any problems if it gets raid or shuts down because of violence or illegal activities, because the management should be able to pay the gamblers the equivalent of their chips before they shut down, and the authorities should make them do this, because whatever had happened is not the fault of the gamblers available in the casino, especially if the casino is legal and they are legally allowed to come there and gamble, so whether it's police or anything, it should make the casino house exchange the chips of the gamblers in the casino.

However, there will be one disadvantage for some gamblers, which is that they might have just lost some chips, and were hoping they could recover their chips gradually, and now that the casino shuts down because someone got violent or did something illegal, they won't be able to recover their chips, but maybe it's a good thing in one way, which is that when we try to recover our money in gambling, we usually lose more, so maybe they get safe from excessive losses.

And what is your point?  If a Casino shuts down due to a violence breaking out, it is not my business or yours and has no thing to do with anybody except the people involved.  Unfortunately a lot of the big businesses have big names involved who may not be good people.  It is what it is, they are always present where a lot of Money is involved.

These types of cases, however sad they may be, do not lead to the casino being closed, because the fight involved casino customers and not the casino owner. Therefore, when the police investigate these types of cases, they will only punish the individuals who were fighting, and the casino's operations will continue without problems. Only in cases of money laundering, drug trafficking, trafficking of women, men, or children directly involving the casino owner and casino employees is discovered will the court close the casino and punish the owners. In this scenario, the government revokes the casino's license, and only if the casino is sold to other owners would the government allow it to operate again.

I don't think anyone could easily get out or withdraw their funds from the casino during an investigation or once the casino is bankrupt/hacked.
I'm sure physical casinos won't leak any information that they are having an issue because it can affect their business, but for illegal casinos, I believe you won't be able to do anything with your funds, and since they are bankrupt, they can't pay you immediately, or your funds are totally lost forever since it's an illegal casino.

We have Ibiza night club  the club house cubana casinos here in my city,  the last time a lady was electricuted, the government shutdown the casino because of that incidences,  the lock down was was indefinite and up till this very moment,  the closure remains, so for some reasons wenhave a few of such cases that can be looked as as reference in this kind of incident of casinos closure because of violence and other incidence.

[TelolettOm]

I've never personally witnessed one in person because gambling is prohibited in my country, and therefore, casinos are illegal, so even if they were closed, it would be because they were illegal.

However, as for violence or other crimes, I haven't encountered them directly. However, I did read a viral news story about a casino being closed in a country due to the violence that resulted in the deaths of two people in a shooting in Eagle Pass. This closure is indefinite.

Previously, there was also news about the closure of a casino, the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino. This certainly has its pros and cons.

And there are probably many more.

Im still a bit unsure what you are asking.  If a casino closes down, how does that impact you as a gambler if you are not directly involved in such criminal activities?

Lets be real, physical casinos can be pretty rough.  Fights, theft, and drugs happen, especially in a less than reputable ones. Thats no secret.  But you are describing the worst-case scenarios as if they happen all the time.

Either way, its really a problem for those tied to that particular mess and the casinos management, but it probably doesnt affect you much as a regular client.

[robelneo]

Our casinos are state-run, so they can't shut them down, since they're their cash cow. If the physical casino ever shuts down, there will be a public notification explaining the reason.
It's not the same with online casinos, where they can easily shut down. Physical casinos are licensed and need to adhere to the rules if they file for bankruptcy or close down, so players can act if they still have business with the casino before it shut down.

[Davidvictorson]

I have not experienced or read about a physical casino that has shut down for illegal activities other than maybe they went out of business due to competition, low patronage or government regulation. But it would be interesting to read from others the casinos that have shut down because of this. One other thing I know about physical casinos is that they easily change management, especially during rocky times. So instead of complete shutdown, they sell to a new management and change name.
