I have several acquaintances involved with casinos.
They say the main revenue of casinos is from Asia and the middle east. Asia is hurting and the ME is hurting from oil.
They also go elsewhere (UAE) due to “better quality” of prostitutes and easier flights.
I’m not sure I care they’re gone.

I imagine they aren’t tatted up over there like they are here.

Yep my observations as well. Asians love their gambling and that observation was from a Vegas weekend 15 years ago and a visit to an Indian Casino a few years later. 40-50% of the crowd.
I get to my local So Cal Stator Bros market twice a week. At least one of those visits the same old timer Vietnamese guy is dropping $20 bills in the California Lottery scratcher machine. The Checkers know him by name.
