After a year of financial struggle due to the pandemic, gambling at Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee has returned to pre-pandemic levels. According to a report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, customers lost a staggering $430 million at the casino last year, a figure that is enough to make heads spin.
The casino, which is owned and operated by the Forest County Potawatomi, has been a staple in the Milwaukee gambling scene for years. However, like many businesses, it suffered a significant blow when the Covid-19 pandemic hit and forced it to close its doors for an extended period of time. This led to a sharp decline in revenue, as customers were unable to visit and enjoy the casino’s games and amenities.
But now, as restrictions have been lifted and life is starting to return to normal, the casino is seeing a resurgence in business. Customers are once again flocking to the gaming floors, eager to try their luck at the slot machines and card tables. The return to pre-pandemic levels of gambling activity is a promising sign for the casino’s future, as it looks to bounce back from the financial setbacks of the past year.
“We are thrilled to see our customers returning in full force,” said a spokesperson for Potawatomi Casino. “It has been a difficult year for all of us, but we are grateful for the support of our loyal customers. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all who visit our casino.”
In addition to the return of customers, the casino has also implemented strict safety measures to ensure the health and well-being of its guests. Hand sanitizing stations are set up throughout the gaming floor, and masks are required for all guests and staff. The casino has also increased its cleaning and sanitizing procedures to minimize the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
As the casino looks to the future, it is optimistic about the prospects for growth and success. With customers returning to pre-pandemic levels of gambling activity, the casino is on track to recover from the financial losses of the past year. And with a continued commitment to customer safety and satisfaction, Potawatomi Casino is poised to remain a top destination for gaming enthusiasts in the Milwaukee area.
