Haute-Garonne: Rising of poker attendance in casinos of Toulouse and Salies-du-Salat
Casinos in France are in a difficult situation for some time because of the crisis. A causal relationship which is not surprising given the downturn affecting all sectors of the economy, including gambling. According to recent statistics, the 197 casinos in the Hexagon have experienced a drop in their turnover of around 4% since the beginning of the year in November 2009 to date. Roughly speaking, the fall is estimated at 20% during the last three years, a figure that speaks for itself. Casinos have been bankrupt, the court got involved, there are even those who are insolvent tlike that of Beaulieu, Alpes-Maritimes. Paradoxical as it may seem, poker seems to enjoy a second life in casinos, more precisely in Salies-du-Salat and Toulouse, in Haute-Garonne department.
Poker in these gambling place know a real attendance, which predicts certainly good health. An exception to this general gloom. According to an official of this casino, this is due to the emergence of a new kind of younger customer that moves from online casino to play on physical facilities. Internet has let them to know the game, the rules and then this customer practice with real players on the tables of land casinos like those of Toulouse and Salies-du-Salat. A boon for managers as they are struggling to recruit, train new players. But other causes are at the origin of this attendance like good animation that attracts tourists. Everything is in place, restaurant, bar, shows that let customers feel well treated. In all, casino is synonymous of party place, of rendezvous and where everyone can entertain.
