The
famous Regency casino Mont Parnes was suddenly shut down by its owners.
The casino, which had been functioning for years within the National
Reserve of Parnetha was closed for unknown reasons and for an
unspecified time period. It could be a permanent shutdown, but that
remains to be formally announced by the owning firm. The International
Regency Corporation, which had been operating the casino, and also that
of Thessaloniki, has reportedly decided to leave Greece for good.1150 employees went on strike, asking for their job contracts which are bound to expire on June 6 to be renewed… what an outrageous demand! That was, as reported, the reason why the owning firm proceeded to suspend the casino’s operation.
Regency no longer belongs to the Greek state, and its alleged financial problems led the state to that “painful” decision. The casino’s revenue has dropped significantly due to the deepening financial crisis, so it has suspended its operation until further notice.
