PROFILE |
 |
Escor Casinos & Entertainment gives Swiss gamblers something to do when alpine views just aren't enough. Escor operates and maintains more than 2,400 gaming machines (video games, slot machines, pinball machines) in restaurants, bars, and hotels across Switzerland. The company also operates casinos in Lugano, Lucerne, and St. Moritz. The casinos offer slot machines and lotteries (no table games), a vestige of historically strict laws governing gaming in Switzerland. The Swiss parliament loosened restrictions on gaming in 2000, and Escor has applied for licenses to operate high-stakes casinos in Zurich and Egerkingen. The company also is seeking to open limited-stakes casinos in Friburg, Locarno, and Rorschach.
