The casino resort management is doing its best to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection. They expanded the scope of its disinfection and inspection, according to online casino reviews and news sites. Also, they consulted with quarantine authorities to ensure they are following the proper quarantine procedures for employees who were in contact with the infected individuals.

Paradise Co. closed all four South Korean casinos on March 23. They are Paradise Walkerhill, Jeju Grand, Busan Casino, and Paradise City. Also, based on online casino directory reports, Jeju Grand reopened last April 13. The other three casinos reopened last April 20.

Most gamblers prefer playing games in online casino sites. That way, they don’t need to go out and visit casinos to avoid getting sick from the coronavirus. Thus, the company reported a 68.1 percent decline in its revenue for the second quarter of the year.

In August, Paradise Co. reported casino revenue of $14.6 million. It was down 75 percent year-over-year. However, it was flat when compared to July. Table games were identical to July numbers at $13 million. However, slot machines dropped 3.3 percent to $1.6 million.
