Te casino sector has been struggling over the last few years and in particular since the smoking ban was introduced revenues have dropped by a reported 30 per cent. It is said bingo operator revenues have also dropped by over 50 per cent after the smoking ban.
Te Romanian parliament strengthened its smoking ban rules in late 2015 to extend the ban to bars and playgrounds although smoking had already been banned from state institutions, schools and hospitals since 2011.
But since the beginning of 2016 smoking is now banned in all indoor public spaces such as bars, restaurants and workplaces. Tose found breaking the rules could have their operational
licence suspended.
All areas of casinos had to introduce no smoking areas which the industry says has affected sales remarkably. Te sector has asked for designated smoking areas but this has not been permitted.
Te number of casinos in Romania has dropped to five and there has been no investments in this sector for some time.
Meanwhile it is said that Romania needs big players and these are limited whilst a difficult visa process makes bringing clients in from the Middle East or Turkey difficult.
