She also added that the company plans to relocate employees from Zandvoort to other locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor Holland Casino, the closure is essential to continue building a sustainable future for the company, in which we can continue to contribute to a safe and responsible gaming climate,\u201d said de Ruiter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, the closure means an emotional farewell to the first branch that Holland Casino opened in 1976. However, we expect to be able to relocate most of our employees to other branches and we hope to welcome our guests to one of our other locations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in August, Holland Casino, presenting its financial results for the first half of 2024, noted that the 1% increase in gambling tax in the Netherlands had cost the company \u20ac3.7 million ($4 million) since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/sbceurasia\">Telegram channel!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holland Casino announced its intention to close its Zandvoort branch in February next year, citing changes in customer behavior and unfavorable market conditions.
