The casinos have reopened after more than six months of closure. Only slot machines are allowed. A gauge of 35% has been imposed, but for some cities, such as Dinard (Ille-et-Vilaine) or La Grande-Motte (Hérault), this source of revenue remains very important.
In La Grande-Motte (Hérault), the casino reopened in a very special form on Wednesday, May 19. The entrance to the drive-in casino resembles a parking lot: players enter with their cars and go to a dedicated tent to play teen patti online.
Slot machines and a mini bar are at their disposal. According to one player, this layout is ideal.
"We went for a little tour in the normal casino, there were a lot of people, we said no thanks it's not for us, there we stay between us."A month normally very profitable
In Dinard (Ille-et-Vilaine), the casino has also adapted by installing Plexiglas windows between each machine. Until June 9, the establishment cannot accommodate more than 135 people at a time, which is one third of the total capacity.
Despite the reduced activity, the employees are all back. But the director, Bruno Toutain, is worried: the month of May is normally a very profitable period for the establishment.
