Austria. Over the years, the Industry Forum became a crucial annual event that brings together members, partners and high-level experts in order to exchange views and discuss the latest trends in the licensed land-based casinos, and make it possible to meet up, join workshops and conferences and attend the many social activities that make each industry forum a special moment for its attendees. These events are usually surrounded by a festive and celebratory atmosphere, which would not have been possible to maintain with the current situation and were therefore postponed. Going back to normality might take a year or more. In

The expected drop in earnings will be substantial and the challenge is to preserve as many of the 70,000 pre-crisis jobs as possible in licensed European casinos. Securing the continued existence of casino operations throughout Europe now requires a joint effort on the part of employees, management, owners, regulators, and governments – all of whom have a role to play in ensuring that their local casinos can continue down their previously successful path and overcome the major challenges they currently face.
