Casino Cosmopol has taken a number of measures in an attempt to increase revenue and reduce costs.

But the measures have not been sufficient.

The closure of the casinos in Malmö and Gothenburg is to limit losses, according to the owner Svenska Spel.

More and more people are playing online

- We have long seen a trend of more people playing online.

In the last ten years, online casinos have grown strongly, which changes the conditions for operating land-based casinos, says Patrik Hofbauer, president and CEO of Svenska Spel, in the press release.

A final decision on termination can only be made after the union negotiations have been concluded.
