Scottish betting shops have been allowed to re-open as the country eases out of lockdown. The Betting and Gaming Council BGC chief executive Michael Dugher called it a step towards normalcy leading to betterment of economy.
The customers would be able to visit the betting shops as almost 750 shops would get opened for the first time after nearly four months of temporary closure.
The COVID-19 safety measures will remain intact.
As per Gambling Insider, Dugher said: “Following the safe re-opening of betting shops in England and Wales earlier this month, Scottish shops getting back to business is another step towards normality and a welcome boost for jobs on the high street in Scotland.”
“It’s great news for their staff and customers, and of course it is an important source of funding for horseracing. As we look forward to a great summer of sport, Scottish punters will once again be able to safely enjoy a flutter on the high street.”
