De Unie (The Union) has announced that it has, along with another union, approached The Hague regarding a proposed increase in the gambling tax.
It has been suggested in the Netherlands that the gambling tax will increase to a figure of 37.8%, which The Union has argued would put Holland Casino under pressure.
Holland Casino recently released its financial results for the first half of the year, underlining what has been a tough period for the operator, experiencing a loss of €3.5m ($3.9m), which was compared with a profit of €17.2m in the same period last year.
It was stated at the time that rising costs, as well as an increase in the gambling tax by 1%, were key reasons behind this significant change.
