As well as that, the country\u2019s slot machines, hotels, bars, pokies, and pubs have now been closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps more crucially, the country\u2019s 14 full-scale casinos are closed for the foreseeable future, resulting in a turbulent period ahead for the country’s gambling industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
