Looks like the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the casino business pretty hard; what with most of their players stuck at home due to lockdown, and unable to take part in physical poker games. And those playing online face legal problems due to restrictions put up on online gambling in many countries all over the world.
This has also led to another concern for the casino operators- shortage of coins. Usually, the players had to pay to convert their coins into bills. But, since the advent of COVID-19, nothing has been going on as usual. With a decrease in the number of players in casinos, there has also been a decrease in the number of coins available. In such a scenario, those with coins have an upper hand in the casinos.
What led to this shortage of coins?
This limited supply of change is another one of the COVID-19 pandemic's negative impacts. To prevent the transmission between employees working in the bureau, the US mints have ceased production of coins at a large level. Due to business and banks closing in the lockdown, the supply chain of US coins has been severely affected. Although there is still a sufficient amount of coins left in the economy, the disruption in circulation has brought a downfall in the directories available in the areas.
Also, the advent of technology has led to a subsequent decrease in the availability of physical money in people’s pockets. Almost everyone now practices e-commerce, which means using contact-less forms of payment and leave their physical money at home. So, almost everyone has now become penniless.
Are your pennies worth some cash?
In face of this sudden shortage of coins, the brilliant minds at Ocean Casino have come up with another way to acquire coins, which also adds up to their special promotion. This July, Ocean will be providing its select customers with some face value for their coins in slot games. In exchange for coins, the casino will give you credit for playing, including a $5 giveaway price to make up for your trouble. And if a player wins at any game of his/her choice using this extra credit, then he/she can also multiply their loose coins several times over. This way of increasing the availability of coins in their casino is far better as compared to pop slots and their free coins feature. Well, this deal sounds worth the
