SANREMO - The Casino di Sanremo is in the last position, whose investments and corporate and political pax don't seem (yet) to produce the expected results. In fact, the collection stands at €2,768,337, a decrease of 8.78 percent compared to the same month last year and which goes hand in hand with the negative sign also recorded by entrances: 12,045, that is to say 10.54 percent less.

The gaming house closed its doors on July, the 27th, and the political and judicial process to reopen it are still opened, but with an uncertain outcome. In 2018, the casino collected €45,460,976, 39.70 percent compared to a year ago. A result inevitably destined to get worse.
