The most important states (länders) in Germany reopen casinos and gambling halls starting today Monday
Germany begins to authorize the resumption of the activity to the premises of game. From Monday, May 11, casinos and gambling halls are one of the commercial establishments that reopen after the agreement reached by the federal government and the presidents of the 16 landers. For now, gaming establishments will be able to open their doors under strict hygiene and safety measures in Bayern, Schleswig-Holstein and Baden-Württember.
Behind this attempt to return to economic normality after slowing the spread of the coronavirus, there is the fact that Angela Merkel has returned the powers to the states (landers) to decide on additional measures themselves. This has meant that the gaming sector has been included in the list of businesses that, as of Monday, May 11, can open in states such as Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.
It is expected that companies like Gauselmann Group can see how after more than 6 weeks without activity, they can gradually return to normality.
In any case, companies must meet strict requirements. Georg Stecker, spokesman for the board of the German slot machine industry, explains: “The reopening is not only very positive news for the slot machine industry, but for the entire legal range of games in Germany. Now the other countries have to go on. "At the same time, Stecker cautions that he must be aware of the current responsibility:" Reopening is also associated with great responsibility. The legal requirements and measures for protection against infection in state-licensed gambling halls must be consistently implemented. "
