With the rise of online casino causing Casino Cosmopol’s visitor numbers to fall in recent years, the Swedish land-based casino brand of Svenska Spel has decided to permanently close the doors on two of its three venues to “limit losses”. Union negotiations will now be held before a final decision is made.
The Gothenburg and Malmö closures mean the only remaining land-based casino in Sweden will be a Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm. The liquidations could affect around 200 jobs.
