As millions of Americans are having problems paying their mortgages, so too are some Atlantic City casinos. Trump Entertainment Resorts became the second casino operator to say it would not make a scheduled loan payment while it tries to work out new terms with its lenders. Last month, Resorts Atlantic City did the same thing, and more could follow. It’s the latest proof that Atlantic City’s casinos, once thought to be recession-proof, are subject to the same financial pressures affecting the rest of America.

A USD 10 million deficit was suffered by Montevideo Casinos within the conduct in government of Mayor Ricardo Ehrlich, according to statements by the opposition. The local council rejected these numbers and announces a restructure in games of chance. According to legislator Álvaro Viviano, casino losses are comprised by two aspects: cumulative deficit from 2005 up to date and expenses from Ehrlich administration in order to facilitate the retirement of 120 casino workers.
