The flames have been raging in Southern California since January 7. So far, at least 24 deaths have been officially confirmed. The large-scale forest fires are caused by a combination of extremely dry conditions and strong winds. Many gambling companies from nearby Las Vegas are now also supporting the victims of the catastrophic fire.

More than 180,000 US citizens have already had to leave their homes as a result of the major fires in California. At least 24 people have already lost their lives in the flames. Several American casino groups have already pledged help to alleviate the suffering of the people. Wynn Resorts, for example, has announced that it will match donations from employees.

In addition, the group has provided the sum of one million US dollars to be transferred to the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Red Cross. Specifically, the Los Angeles Fire Department is to receive 300,000 US dollars and the Red Cross in Los Angeles a further 700,000 US dollars from the gaming company. Back in December 2022, we reported on GambleJoe that Wynn Resorts had confirmed the opening of its first casino in Dubai.

MGM Resorts donates 1 million US dollars for fire disaster

The billion-dollar gaming group MGM Resorts also announced a few days ago that it wanted to support the victims of the fire disaster in Southern California. Around three years ago, we reported on GambleJoe that MGM Resorts in Las Vegas had laid off over a hundred employees. MGM Resorts is also donating the sum of one million US dollars in response to the current disaster.

Other gaming companies have already pledged their support. For example, Resorts World Las Vegas temporarily offered a 35% discount on rooms booked by people who had to be evacuated due to the fire disaster.

In total, at least 24 people were killed in the fire disaster in Southern California. A further 180,000 people have already had to leave their homes because of the flames. It is estimated that the flames have severely damaged or even completely destroyed at least 12,000 buildings. The damage is already estimated to be in the tens of billions. The Los Angeles Country was particularly affected by the forest fires.

The Treasure Island casino resort is also helping those affected by the fire disaster. Here, people displaced by the fire will only pay 79 US dollars per night for a room (approx. 77 euros) until the end of January. By comparison, a double room here usually costs the equivalent of almost 200 euros per night. In addition, the hotels are accommodating those affected with customer-friendly cancellation conditions. In most casinos and hotels, it is sufficient to provide proof of residence in the disaster area (e.g. Los Angeles).
