Denmark’s government has said that casinos will remain closed until at least April 5.

Denmark.- The Danish government has said that casinos and gaming halls in the country will not be able to reopen until at least April 5.

The government has extended Covid-19 restrictions for at least another month after venues were temporarily closed in December.

The closure was due to end on February 28 but while some businesses have now been allowed to reopen, including non-essential shops in some areas, the government said that Covid-19 cases were still too high to allow gaming venues to reopen.

Italy has also confirmed that casinos and other gambling venues will have to wait until April to reopen, despite protests from the gaming sector in Milan and Rome.

New prime minister Mario Draghi has said that gaming venues must wait until the next review scheduled for April 6.

The British government has said that betting shops in England can expect to reopen on April 12, with casinos and bingo halls having to wait until May 17.
