France Casino Halls are affected by the global financial Crisis

The 2007-2008 fiscal year ended October 31 2008 and time is in the balance sheet for all casinos in France. The directors of game and the municipalities do not have the moral read the results of this year catastrophic. The city of Pontaillac is 3 kilometers from the town of Royan (80 km south of La Rochelle editors note) and has a game managed by the barrier: the casino Barrier Royan. The budget of the city for 2009 is seen declining by declining returns from the casino which is itself in decline.

Indeed, the economic crisis has severely affected the gross games (PBJ), which has dropped 11% in 2008 including a progressive jackpot won in the casino during the summer with a value of almost 423 325 euros (without that big gain the PBJ was down 9% ie). Yet, since free access playrooms tables, traditional games are up but do not compensate for the decline in business flagship of the game: slot machines. Indeed, the gross gaming bandits penguins fell by 2.5 million euros from 19.4 to 16.9 million. This performance reflects against the change in behavior of players who are less lack of money and spend less time on a Thursday because of the anti-tobacco law. Identity checks imposed by the law had resulted in the establishment of Pontaillac a decline of 5% attendance, which has stabilized over time.

The decline in the gross total games is a blow to digest for the municipality will have to tighten their belts. The municipality will receive 260 000 euro less than the previous year. The city collects taxes and charges about 3 million each year. In 2008, it will revise its budget to lower investment and sacrifice. The year 2009 promises to be difficult (for all sectors of activity including the editors note Thursday) given the news every day pours a lot of redundancies, let off stock fraud. The launch of progressive jackpots common to casinos in France will probably attract players who want to win several million euros (read casinos on the steps of Euro Millions).
