The COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid and unexpected closure of casinos
and gaming venues across Australia and the Asia Pacific, changing the
operating environment with unprecedented speed and leaving managers
scrambling to adapt to the new realities.
This month, Asia Gaming Brief, the organizers of the ASEAN Gaming
Summit, teamed up with the Australasian Gaming Expo (AGE), and
Forecast Australia to conduct a Australasia-wide survey, asking about how
venues have handled the ever-evolving crisis.
More than 500 gaming venues across Australia and New Zealand were

are being learned as to how to adjust business strategies to mitigate the

loyalty of both customers and staff.
