Brick-and-mortar casinos in Denmark experienced a substantial resurgence in May, with earnings almost increasing threefold compared to the corresponding timeframe last year. This upswing is ascribed to the relaxation of COVID-19 limitations and the public’s desire to resume in-person leisure activities.
The Danish Gaming Authority indicated that physical casinos generated approximately $4.5 million in earnings throughout May. Gaming machines demonstrated exceptional popularity, amassing over $160 million. This favorable pattern implies a robust recuperation for the sector, which was severely impacted by shutdowns and closures.
Although internet gambling witnessed a surge during the pandemic, it appears to be leveling off now that individuals have a wider array of entertainment choices. Earnings from virtual casinos stayed comparatively stable in May. In general, the Danish gambling market is exhibiting indications of reverting to its pre-pandemic condition, with land-based establishments spearheading the way.
Although brick-and-mortar gambling establishments and slot machines experienced a minor decrease in earnings throughout April and May, the general trajectory for gaming income continues to ascend.
Apparently, individuals were keen to return to physical casinos following the pandemic, which might have initially impacted online gambling gains. Nevertheless, this effect is diminishing, and the internet gambling sector remains robust, with total gambling revenue exhibiting a positive 11.5% surge.
