You can try your luck in casinos from May 19... on some conditions. The reopening of casinos will be completed through steps, as State Secretary for Tourism Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne stated.

Closed since October, casinos are impatiently waiting to reopen and receive gamblers agains. After waiting for over six months, and several disillusions, the future is brightening up again: casinos will be allowed to resume from May 19, 2021.

State Secretary for Tourism Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne has yet stated all casino installations will not open to the public from May. Moreover, a reduced gauge will be instated to limit crowds.

From May 19, casinos will reopen with a 35% gauge and can only make slot machines available. From June 9, gaming tables can be used and facilities can receive up to 50% of the public. And gauges can reach 100% from June 30, if the health situation enables to do so.
