It is easy to tell when you are crossing the Belgium-France border through the proliferation of automatic gaming halls and gambling establishments you pass, particularly in border municipalities such as Hainaut.
These establishments, devoid of human dealers and focused on slot machines and automated roulettes, dot the landscape, providing a stark contrast as one moves closer to the border, Le Soir reports.
Quiévrain, situated in Hainaut, offers a striking example: Casino Circus stands on one side of Rue de Valenciennes, while across the street, a Family Game Centre shares its façade with a prominent Golden Vegas sign. Such scenes are replicated in various places along the border as you near France, underlining the prevalence of these gaming establishments.
