Svenska Spel has confirmed the closure of its final land-based casino in Stockholm, after the Swedish parliament voted to end land-based gambling in April.
The group confirmed the news on 25 April after receiving a change in ownership instruction the day before. Svenska Spel said the Casino Cosmopol venue closed for the final time on 24 April and would not open again.
Casino Cosmopol’s fate was all but sealed earlier this month when the Swedish government voted to abolish land-based casinos in the country – a decision backed by Svenska Spel.
A proposal to discontinue Casino Cosmopol, which Svenska Spel operates under instruction from the state, was first tabled last May.
