The official also said that “we worked more harder than in 2022” and that expectations for the season were “far surpassed.” “Because to the Covid-19 hangover, last summer was marked by capacity and hourly limits, but we did not anticipate that this year would run as well as it did. We are quite happy “he said.

Roberto Páez, the general secretary of the Trade Association of Casino Administration, Training, and Service Workers, told La Capital that the industry has had significant growth “a very excellent January” and said, “so far, this season is much better than the last. We anticipate that this year is 30 to 40 percent busier than the previous year “.

In this regard, it was also said that the casino of Necochea reopened in the middle of last month, and that the casino of Mar de Ajó is expected to reopen at the conclusion of the current season, which would be an important source of employment for the city and an additional tourist attraction.

Galdurralde said, “The plan is to maintain this investment program jointly between the government and the private sector in order to deliver a quality service.”

The gaming industry notably emphasized the “resurgence” of the activity after the pandemic, when it was one of the sectors worst impacted by the many limitations imposed to prevent infection. “We came from a complicated process, since the goal was to take care of the health of our community,” Galdurralde said, but he noted that since the end of the epidemic, they have had the “potential to expand in a vertiginous fashion,” and they are wagering that this will continue.
