State-owned Holland Casino has announced it will be cutting 450 of its total 4100 jobs. The redundancies, motivated by decreasing numbers of visitors, come despite the company already cutting 800 jobs in recent years. A Holland Casino spokesperson commented that the company is losing money because fewer people come to its casinos and those who come spend less. The government has already announced it will be selling Holland Casino, which operates under a monopoly position in the Dutch market.
