Quite interesting news, because like they said this is the first strike in decades. I don't think it will have any impact on online gambling though. It's not like people will feel the urge to gamble, and without a land option, they will all go to online gambling. Most of them probably use both versions already in a regular manner. Finally, no strike lasts forever, so things will probably be solved easily.

Las Vegas is a drop in the ocean compared to Macau by the way  Grin Macau is the gambling capital of the world.

But for Europeans and other high rollers on the other side of the planet, Las Vegas is their destination for many years and Macau has been in the limelight recently.



So its either gamblers stateside will, go to New Jersey or experiment this so called crypto online gambling. If most of them, choose  the latter, then its going to help crypto go the next level. So early to say though, but lets hope that this will bring fresh blood to pump the market for the purpose of gambling.

Some more notable quotes in the article:

The last citywide strike by Culinary Union workers took place in 1984. During the 67 days of the strike, the Strip lost an estimated $75 million in revenue, according to the union.

The workers eligible for the strike are about half of the hospitality employee population in the city, Khan said.

Seems like nobody's got any sort of idea how long this might last, but this is definitely going to cause at least some temporary economic damage over in Vegas, and Crypto gambling will likely see at least a small spike in activity during the time of the strike, if it will happen as scheduled. Hopefully more people hear about Crypto gambling at the least out of this event.
High chances for this thing would happen where players or gamblers might really consider online crypto gambling if they would saw they dont have any choice on where to play games.They would really seek out venues or possible places for where they would able to gamble. Online gambling would be the easiest and fastest way but for sure they would feel of the difference between a physical and an offline one.I do see this decisions too to be temporary.

Without these workers, Las Vegas is going to lose the social settings that it is known for in the entire world and this will dwindle the number of customers that patronise the casino's over there.

Thousands of unionized hotel and casino workers in Las Vegas are ready to go on strike for the first time in more than three decades.

About 25,000 members of the Culinary Union voted Tuesday to authorize a citywide strike in Las Vegas unless they reach a contract deal with their employers by June 1, union spokeswoman Bethany Khan said.
The contracts of 50,000 workers, including bartenders, guest room attendants, cocktail servers, porters and cooks at 34 casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas are set to expire May 31.

Is this a good news for online gambling? If Las Vegas casino workers are going for a strike, gamblers around the world will only have few options to go and I think most of them will shift to online gambling that might have a good impact on the market price.


this is very serious news, if this really happened, I think las vegas will be paralyzed, and maybe the players will switch to online casinos. considering that las vegas is the central point of gambling, it is already made sure that online casinos will experience drastic improvement. maybe  Grin Grin
