Essex seems to be known globally for some of its locals appearing on reality tv shows. ‘’The Only Way is Essex’’, ‘’Big Brother’’, ‘’First Dates’’ and “Love Island” are a few shows that helped Essex gain this sometimes unwanted stereotype. Throughout the UK, an ‘’Essex Girl’’ is referred to a female from the area covered in makeup and fake tan, with a thick personality and of lower class. This is certainly not true with everybody you meet in the county. Most people in fact give a warm welcome and it is a great place to live, study and work. The bar, restaurant and nightlife scene is great for locals and tourists with plenty of tourist attractions and things to do. Although it might not be the Las Vegas Strip, it is possible to find some of the United Kingdom’s best casinos in Essex.

Can You Win Big At An Essex Casino?
Everybody has heard the expression ‘’the house always wins’’. However, for Mr. Paul Banbout earlier this year found out this wasn’t always the case. The 50 year oldwas in serious debt before entering The Maxims Casino in January. However, the lucky punter’s luck managed to turn when he entered a blackjack tournament in the Southendseafront casino. The competition was played simultaneously in 12 casinos throughout the United Kingdom. Banbout’s winnings came to a total of just over £200,000 British Pounds. Many of us can only dream of hitting such a jackpot. Many of the casinos here offer a live casino for its guests and competitions. Be sure to inquire to find out what times the live gaming begins as times vary with each casino.
The Current Situation With Casinos In Essex
It seems like this current ongoing pandemic due to Covid-19 has affected every industry. The traditional land based casino is not different. Casinos, bowling alleys and play centers were closed down earlier this year due to an attempt by the government to reduce the spread of the virus, however managed to re-open in mid August. However a curfew has been put in place, meaning they have to close their doors and all customers off the property by 10PM. If casinos don’t follow the new law put in place they are at risk of getting a hefty fine of £10,000. A fine that is the last thing a land-based casino would need after the lack of revenue generated in 2020. The casino scene does not seem to be like it once was since the spread of Covid-19. In Essex casinos, it is compulsory that punters wear face masks and are asked to practice social distancing with other customers and staff members. Unfortunately for these casinos, it has had a major decline on the amount of customers coming through their doors. With many deciding to gamble from home, with online casinos instead of taking a risk of contracting the virus or spreading to others at a traditional casino. The Essex casino industry has provided lots of work in the past for people such as dealers, security, cocktail waitresses and cleaners. Unfortunately, many people who rely on these casinos for work have been laid off. Only time will tell when or if the industry will go back to normal.
