Long awaited reopening

Grosvenor Casinos is reopening 44 of its properties across England on August 1, four and a half months after they were closed in the middle of March because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The casino operator, part of the Rank Group, has government approval to reopen once strict health and safety protocols are followed. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed last week that English casinos could start to reopen when August begins. The company has provided no confirmation regarding casinos in Scotland and Wales.

Reopening backlash

Casinos in the UK have been voicing their concerns about how they are being treated throughout the pandemic. Originally, the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) industry group announced that casinos in England could start reopening on July 4. However, this proved to not be the case.

Casinos were not part of the list of leisure and hospitality venues released by the government that could reopen starting July 4. This led to a backlash from casino operators who were urging the government to allow them to reopen sooner. Most of these casino operators had invested significantly in ensuring that properties were up to health and safety standards during the downtime. The general manager of Grosvenor Casino Birmingham, Matt Rudd, was one of the vocal critics of this government delay.
