A decree has been issued that slot machines will be banned in the city of Prague as of 2024.This new decree is just the latest piece of legislation that has been introduced with an aim of clamping down on problem gambling in the region and in fact the Czech wider market too.
Confrontation: Coronavirus VS Gambling business submitted by hawertin to u/hawertin [link] [comments] For many years, the authorities of almost all countries of the world have been fighting a nervous battle with the gambling business. Underground casinos are opening everywhere and the authorities are again throwing all their forces into the fight against betting. https://preview.redd.it/2b4l9qv0bhr51.jpg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86b7cfdadbe8b04bd9c1de8397ef4aebc96db3c6 But then it appears: Super Coronovirus! This whole situation is like a fairy tale about a Golden egg, which everyone tried to break, but only the mouse did it. In a few months, the Coronavirus infection managed to do what the Supreme rulers of humanity took decades to do – it "killed" the gambling business! But is this really the case? Are there no more places in the world where you can drink a glass of whiskey and bet a couple of bucks on zero? https://preview.redd.it/79emqy92bhr51.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ac545a98144399601003c8f746ff04c0fcd46e0 The editorial of MetaCasino.pt has prepared an analytical material for you, about which branches of the gambling business were most affected by the Coronavirus. Land-based casinos The first and most powerful impact of the Coronavirus was on land-based stationary casinos. In the face of an epidemiological threat, people tried to leave their homes and stay in public places as little as possible. https://preview.redd.it/0h1c0f63bhr51.jpg?width=1382&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4140fb9b46e591860ab299c3d1a8b2c6dc88c93a ● USA The famous Las Vegas, which worked smoothly during the first and Second world war, turned into a Ghost town in a matter of months. Its casinos closed for the first time since 1963, the year President Kennedy was assassinated. According to the latest statistics, the total losses of Las Vegas casinos amounted to more than 5.5 billion dollars. ● Czech Republic Although the Czech Republic had the fewest cases of Coronavirus infection, King's Casino, which is a venue for major international poker events, had to cancel all tournaments and close for a period of quarantine. According to official data, the casino's losses amounted to about 5.5 million dollars. ● Austria The famous Concord Card Casino, which was supposed to be 25 years old this year, was closed due to the inability to pay taxes to the state. The main specialty of this casino was poker, but in early March, the institution declared bankruptcy. The main reason is the lack of clients due to the Coronavirus epidemic. https://preview.redd.it/0l9fisb4bhr51.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa81f63019dcee723f6cabdac628b7859f925187 Owners of land-based casinos are recommended to start developing the online component of their gambling houses as soon as possible so that the Coronovirus does not completely sink their business. Online casino against Coronavirus But the online casino, on the contrary, is experiencing its best times. In a situation when almost the entire world was in prison, many of the boredom began to "spend" honestly earned coins in the casino. In this regard, our editorial staff has prepared for you the TOP 3 online casinos that not only earned money during the epidemic, but also managed to bring their brand to the world level. ● Rox Casino A casino that everyone already knew about, but they learned even better during the Coronavirus period. According to unofficial data (after all, who will tell us the truth) on the excitement of their customers, Rox managed to earn about 4 million dollars. And this is almost 13% more than the casino's income before the Coronavirus epidemic. https://preview.redd.it/7fj1oyg5bhr51.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9567d544c0b60efeef1d120e4bada83dee2bd507 ● All British Casino The most famous British online casino, with which, according to rumors, Prince Harry liked to spend his free time during the pandemic, managed to increase its revenue by up to 24%. And this is despite the fact that gambling is illegal and the UK government has introduced strict regulatory measures regarding online gambling and betting. The high attendance of this platform has brought All British Casino to a new level and attracted customers from all over the world. ● BoVegas And while real Las Vegas endures its worst times, virtual Vegas is on top of the glory. In the face of fierce competition and in order to attract the maximum number of new customers and keep the old ones, a welcome bonus of 5000$ was introduced. Either a gift from the company, or boredom, but the number of players for the period from January to may increased by 40%. And where new players - there is profit! Sports reference: offline or online? The sphere of sports betting has suffered the most. The fact is that the absence of Grand sporting events such as the world Cup, the UEFA Champions League, the League of Europe, the Wimbledon tennis tournament and many other competitions were either canceled or postponed indefinitely. According to the analytical company Standard & Poor's, the betting market fell by almost 37%. This has never happened before! https://preview.redd.it/pqe35ocbbhr51.jpg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f484570f0b8f23aa7a89b693d998c5fd202a021 For example, in the UK, the demand among both beginners and professional bettors for betting shops that specialize in sports has decreased by 41%, and this is despite the fact that the demand for online casinos is growing on the contrary. In addition, during the quarantine period, offices are prohibited from using topics such as Coronavirus and self-isolation for advertising purposes. "And if there is no sport, then there is no point in betting" - you might think. But it wasn't there! Global companies such as 1xBet began offering their clients an alternative-Belarusian football. As you know, there is no Coronavirus in the Republic of Belarus – so the President of the country said. This means that there are no reasons for changes in the gambling services market. In this regard, many ratting corporations offer their clients to bet on the Top League and the football championship in Belarus. This is certainly not the European Cup, but in the context of a pandemic, you do not have to choose very much. The second birth of e-Sports E-Sport has become an excellent alternative to standard sports betting. According to the latest analytical data, e-Sports betting activity looks something like this: ● 73% - FIFA cyber football ● 21% - Counter-Strike ● 5% - Dota2; ● 1% - Other games; And as for the world e-Sports Championships, no one canceled them. This means that e-Sport is one of the few industries where avid players carry their money in the hope of getting an adrenaline rush and earning a couple of hundred dollars. For example, the FIFA cyber football world Cup and the NBA 2K20 cyberbasketball tournament are waiting for us. Thus, e-sports, whose popularity has grown rapidly in recent years, as well as betting on e-sports have received an additional impetus to even greater development. Alternative betting However, bookmakers are well aware that you can not deprive their customers of the pleasure of gambling and offer alternative ways of betting. https://preview.redd.it/huelwhicbhr51.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=32c1f822161d24f42ea2c34ab7c4a59c2096117e So, for example, you can bet not only on local social events in your country, such as when the football season resumes, or the League of Europe. However, the most popular bet was on Coronovirus. Betters around the world are betting on when the pandemic will end, whether the borders of States will open, and whether there will be a second wave of the epidemic. Conclusion Thus, it is safe to say that no sphere of life, no economic or social sector could resist the Coronovirus. But as far as gambling business is concerned, everything is ambiguous. Actually, everything is like in betting: someone wins, such as online casinos, and someone suffers losses, such as sport ratting. But we believe that sport betting will return as the Phoenix bird as soon as all sporting events resume. |
"Aha! Tinker was actually one of Jack's exes!" Which one? "You've never heard of her!" And the players would suspect this because? "Uh...because they kiss a lot!" Why would Jack hire her anyway? "Because she actually biosculpted herself to look like Jean Gardner, a completely random individual! And with her intimate knowledge of Jack, she could re-seduce him, only to trigger the trap in his new cyberarm!" Wait... What?Yeah, it makes as much sense as it sounds. It's a twist for the sake of a twist. Worse still, Tinker's "revenge" hinges on Jack's old associations with the 3000, an eco-terrorist group that Jack used to run with that no one even hears about until they show up for some two-bit sidequest roles in Plundering Praha. Then there are the connotations that the only major black character in the adventure turns out to be someone in a disguise. At best, the reveal is cliche and shocking for the sake of drama; at worst, someone had themselves biosculpted to look like a murdered black woman (and I really don't want to touch that).
"Alright, I've got this idea for the villain of Eurotour. basically there's this girl except she's got huge boobs. i mean some serious honkers. a real set of badonkers. packin some dobonhonkeros. massive dohoonkabhankoloos. big ol' tonhongerekoogers. what happens next?! Jack Entropy keeps runnin' off with other chicks with even bigger bonkhonagahoogs. humongous hungolomghononoloughongous. So she decides to kills him!"Oh BOY is this one a can of worms. Like with Tinker, we again have the only prominent minority character (an Asian woman) being the villain. But this time, her motivation is "This woman is seriously mixed up, and has a real love/hate relationship with Jack" (Eurotour, pg. 84). Quite literally, the designers of Eurotour want you--the Ref--to throw Tammi-Lu at a player until they hook up, hit them with the pregnancy scare (along with lines about how Jack is abusing her and she only wants to be loved), and then have the two brawl in a drug-addled craze. Just... no.
...So the "jealous lover" angle?
"Yeah! And, get this, she gets one of the PCs to give her a good *cking and scares them into thinking she's prangent! Then she drugs them or something on the plan and get them to fight, idk"
"Alright, I've got this idea for the villain of Eurotour. basically--"This one was so close to being fantastic, and it probably still can be! The major problem is that the "clues" are... Clements dating one of the PCs. And paying them more? It doesn't make much of a mystery to solve. Rather, this "ending" is intended as a gut-punch to the player who decided to engage in romantic activities with the business lady. Also, has anyone else noticed that every female character in the Tour Crew is a possible villain?! Cause I have. I could see this one working with some tweaking of the clues (maybe have a player find the note and try to investigate it?), but as is the plot is the best of the "Honeypot Trio."
You did this one already.
"Hold on, hear me out. There's this girl--"
NO. We're not doing the jealous lover again.
"But it's not!" ...fine, what is it?
*"*Remember how Clements' whole deal is she wants an early retirement? Well, she's been seeing Jack more or less throw his career away, and she doesn't want to see his star crash and burn from one bad move. So, she decides to slip the Main Man and Tammi-Lu some poison in their cups."
And they don't suspect her because...?
"well first, because she put a forged suicide note in one of their hotel rooms just within Ace's sight when he calls the players to warn them!"
Alright, that's not half bad. She has a motive, and the method is pretty chill. Hey, I think this one is--
"And, get this, she gets one of the PCs to give her a good *cking and--"
--Nevermind.
"What if... Jack was the killer! :0"So this one is number 3 because it fits. Jack has been the star of the show for the whole campaign, and the party's biggest threat to Jack Entropy... is Jack himself. He's already a sociopath who only uses people for his personal gain and could care less about others' feelings, so he's prone to cyberpsychosis (even going so far as to chrome up his arm in a vain-attempt at mimicking Johnny Silverhand). Tinker even admits that Jack's drugs from Paper Chase were supposed to help him self-medicate, but the boy needs therapy! But he's too proud so he... starts blasting? The ending here can fit (and fit really well to cap off the adventure), but it needs to be handled with tact and taste. Otherwise, it will crash and burn.
Hey, I could see that. Jack's been running on the Edge for a long time, and his self-destructiveness makes sense if his target was himself! Plus this would be an interesting look at mental illness and cyberpsychosis.
"Yeah, and he shoots Clements for trying to take him to therapy!" What?
"So you know how Jack made a mess in the UK?"This one is simple, and its simplicity is its greatest virtue. All through Eurotour, the party has to deal with MLA assassins and agents trying to stop Jack from singing his songs of rebellion (and his gun-running side gig) for good. Not only will the clues to this one be painfully obvious, but the setpiece ending is delicious. The plane's autopilot has been hacked and is sending the plane into a corkscrew straight into the ocean. You've got the stakes (everyone's lives) and the chance to turn a humble stewardess into an MLA agent. It's good, but my favorite is...
Yeah.
"So what if... they wanted to make a mess of him?"
Okay, so I really like Clements' plot, but I despise how her plot is introduced rather suddenly. So here me out for once, what if she's not the only one who wants an early retirement?Who better to want to take out the "anti-corp" Jack Entropy than his own corporation, Entropy Enterprises? They've also noticed Entropy's downward spiral and want to make his Total Entropy Tour the last. In short, they want Entropy to join the 27 Club like Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain, and they're going to make sure it happens. A latecomer to the tour, a "Mr. Anderson," has hidden a microwave bomb on the undercarriage of the wheelwell. Did I mention the plane was flying over the ocean? However the party manages to solve this one is up to them, and I am down to find out just how they do so.
What was that old saying: "A dead artist can make a good living?"
Online gambling operators are taxed the same as land-based casinos under the Czech Republic’s new gambling laws. This means that operators have to pay taxes of 35% on casino games revenue and 23% on sports betting. Compared to the taxes that operators are asked to pay in other European jurisdictions, these tax rates are simply too high to be ... Czech Republic Online Casinos. From all of the above, it can be concluded that online gambling in the Czech Republic is legal and regulated for both national and international operators and service providers. Czech players can enjoy all sorts of online casino, betting and lottery games, except progressive jackpots and Live Casino games. Online gambling operators are taxed the same 35 percent on casino games revenue as land-based casinos under the Czech Republic’s new gambling laws. While the Czech Republic remains an international poker hotspot for land-based gamblers, the same cannot be said for online gambling. The reputation of Czech Republic blackjack has increased significantly all through the previous couple of years and it is the high time for you to think about it. The game blackjack is also recognized as totaling 21 mainly because you will have to reach that objective in order to win, so go to a casino and try it out right now. Czech Republic’s government has claimed a victory in a legal dispute with land-based operator Casino Kartáč Group, in relation to the operation of interactive video lottery terminals (VLTs). Casino Kartáč had issued a claim for CZK1.41bn (£48.0m/€53.8m/$65.5m) in compensation for lost ... The company has an exclusive 20-year contract to manage all operations of the casino and to lease equipment to Casino Millennium a.s., a Czech company that holds the casino license. Century said it will be paid management fees based on the total revenue of the casino, and will receive equipment lease fees based on a percentage of net profits. Czech Republic Online Casino According to the Czech Ministry of Finance’s annual gambling report, a total of 43.3% of Czechs aged 15 or older gambled in 2019. That sums up how much this nation loves to play casino games. The Czech Republic’s regulated gambling market eked out a modest revenue gain last year despite online gambling revenue rising by more than one-half. Such measures would perhaps be inevitable, as the iGaming market in the Czech Republic is still finding its feet in the wake of the new laws coming into effect in 2017. Foreign companies are slowly making headway in the new regulatory environment, and the popularity of both online casino table games and slots is sure to increase. However, the country has a very strict tax of 35% of GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) on all casino operators. This is why your choices can be relatively limited in comparison to the general European market. This is why Czech players often resort to foreign gambling sites, but many trusted casinos have a license by the government and a wide range of ...
