Last Friday, the UK government announced that casinos in England will reopen on 1 August, as coronavirus restrictions were further eased.
The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) has previously expressed its concern and bewilderment at the continued closure of casinos, while pubs, restaurants and bingo halls have been allowed to reopen.
However, casinos in Scotland and Wales are still waiting on news that properties can reopen.
Gambling Insider exclusively caught up with Rank Group CEO John O’Reilly, whose brands include UK’s largest casino operator Grosvenor, to get his reaction and see what the new-look casinos will look like.
What’s your initial reaction to the news casinos in England can reopen from 1 August?
We were delighted to finally receive the green light to reopen our casinos in England from 1 August. We’d been working extremely hard alongside our industry peers and with our trade body, the BGC, to provide government and health officials with the assurances that we were COVID-19 safe and good to go. I’ve been confident of this for many weeks but appreciate that a political process had to be followed. We’ve finally got there and our colleagues are tremendously excited about the prospect of getting back to work and welcoming our customers back. Slot machine animation for powerpoint.
With casinos having been closed since mid-March, what are the estimated losses for Rank as a result?
With the support of the Treasury, most notably in the form of the CJRS (Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme), we have been able to mitigate our cash burn rate during the period in which our venues have been closed to circa £10m ($12.6m) net outflow per month. The reopening of the majority of our Mecca venues in England, Enracha venues in Spain and our casino in Belgium, have reduced our monthly cash burn rate to £7m a month. With the Grosvenor estate reopening for business on 1 August, we can now look forward to getting back to generating revenues and becoming cash positive as a Group as quickly as possible.
What will the new-look casinos look like, and what are the key measures that will have to be implemented, to ensure health and safety protocols are met?
We’ve invested heavily in safety measures for all our venues. From Perspex screens between all table game seating positions and gaming machines, to ID Scan at our entrances, one-way systems in our clubs and a relentless focus on cleaning and hand sanitising, we believe we have an ultra-safe, and still enjoyable, experience for customers. I was pleased to be able to show senior officials from Public Health England, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Cabinet Office around one of our Central London venues earlier this month and was delighted with the feedback we received. At Grosvenor we believe the safest casinos will be the ones that win and, as we prepare to reopen, our colleagues are keen to embrace the changes we’ve made.
Do you see there being a strong demand and appetite from customers, considering the extended closure time?
We’ve had the benefit of seeing the numbers coming through our Mecca bingo venues and there’s clearly some pent-up demand from loyal customers. We’re hoping that translates into a similarly strong appetite from casino customers. We were making good progress pre-COVID with our customer proposition in Grosvenor and we very much hope that customers welcome what we have done during closure and share our enthusiasm for getting back to doing what we all love doing in our venues.
With casinos nearing the reopening date, how quickly do you expect the business to recover from the impact of the pandemic?
There are many moving parts to this, some of which we can’t control, not least the emergence and availability of a vaccine and, unfortunately, the prospect of local lockdowns if spikes in the virus reoccur. On the basis of what we know today we are hoping to be cash positive again soon after reopening. We had a strong business with a good operating model running into lockdown and we’re doing everything in our control to ensure that our colleagues are ready and willing to rise to the challenge of giving our customers the safest and very best casino experience. If we can do that, we can be very confident for the months ahead.Rank Casino News Today
You previously said the decision to not reopen casinos, when other businesses in the hospitality industry could, was “baffling”. Do you think the 1 August reopening date is later than it should have been?
Ahead of the 4 July reopening of many business, including our Mecca bingo venues, I was confident that our Grosvenor casinos were COVID-safe. However, the Government understandably wished to proceed with caution in reopening leisure and hospitality businesses and casinos fell onto the wrong side of the line for 4 July. The Government had a process to follow, and we were happy to work with them to ensure we could reopen at the earliest possible date. During this time, indeed from the very outset of lockdown, we have had huge support from Nigel Huddleston, Minister for Sport, Tourism and Heritage at DCMS and from his team of officials who have all been keen to get casinos reopen at the earliest possible date. I am delighted we are now reopening from 1 August and am grateful for their support.
Casinos in Wales and Scotland still haven’t been given the go-ahead to reopen. How much of a blow is that, and what do you think the consequences could be on your casinos in those countries?
We fully respect that decisions in Scotland and Wales are devolved and that’s why we are also working with the relevant authorities to secure a date as soon as possible for reopening. The sooner we can reopen, the sooner we can start contributing to the local economies, to Treasury, and the better our chances of protecting jobs.Related ArticlesRank Casino News Las VegasGambling industry must take ‘holistic approach’ to 2005 Act reviewIain Duncan Smith: Radical change requires Gambling Commission to be axedBGC welcomes reopening of Scottish betting shops
The closure of casinos across Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire has been branded as a ‘senseless’ move by Jonathon Swaine, managing director of Rank Group, after the regions entered England’s new tier three restrictions.
The new measures will mean that a number of Rank’s Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo venues will be forced to close their doors, having only recently reopened following the first wave of lockdown measures.
Reported by BusinessLive, Swaine slammed the decision to include casinos among the establishments forced to close. He said: “The enforced closure of our ultra COVID-secure casinos is senseless.
“At first we thought that the decisions being made were arbitrary but it’s now clear that our casinos are being subjected to an aggressive and needless attack by decision makers who clearly understand nothing of just how safe casinos are and appear determined to damage the land-based betting and gaming industry for the sake of it.
“Venues such as pubs are able to remain open and serve alcohol if they also sell a meal, which leaves gambling venues as the only ones ordered by the government to shut up shop. It is grossly unfair.
“As well as operating to the very highest COVID-secure standards with robust evidence to support that position, casinos support huge numbers of jobs while paying up to 50 per cent tax rates to the Exchequer.
“We have offered to close our casino bars in exchange for permission to trade but are still being forced to close and we’re yet to see or hear of a single shred of evidence that supports that decision.
“It’s a targeted attack on betting and gaming premises, the tens of thousands of employees and customers in this sector and the time has come to call it out for what it is.”
The decision to include casinos, bingo halls and betting shops among the swathes of venues forced to close under tier three restrictions has been met with widespread criticism from across the industry.
In an open letter published by the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) earlier this week, BGC CEO Michael Dugher urged the Business Secretary Alok Sharma to block the ‘unfair and unnecessary’ closure of betting shops and casinos across the country, citing concerns over potential mass job losses.
In his letter to the Secretary of State, Dugher, said: “There are currently just over 6,700 shops employing nearly 40,000 staff across the country, the majority of which are female.Rank Casino News Articles
“The singling out of betting shops for closure is unfair, unnecessary and runs counter to the sensible approach the Government had previously adopted. This decision looks ill-informed, arbitrary, and along with plans to close COVID-secure casinos (that had offered to give up selling alcohol) it frankly looks anti-gambling industry.
“It will have a hugely negative impact on our businesses and staff, despite their efforts to ensure a very safe environment for customers that is well beyond any other non-essential retail business.”
