How will casinos handle table games like craps once they re-open? 6 feet apart won’t cut it. What will be their new normal?
 
Do they even clean them now?


No chance they cleaned those suckers before. Doubt they will now. Those might be dirtier than money itself. You might see more tables open and one seat in between players for black jack. But craps and roulette would be tough, takes the fun out of craps if u have 5 people and a hot table.

Chinese love to gamble and they don’t care about personal space. They are gonna be out there tossing dice one way and the Kung flu the other way.
Gary will get on me for this. But these ppl have to stop eating bats and stuff. Look, it's common knowledge where this inconvenient virus came from. Let's stop the political posturing. Please. We know where it came from. Let's take steps to prevent it in the future.
 
Casino's really, a lot is going to change after this deal, not just here in America, but globally. 1972 in some think tank it was decided we either feed the Chinese or fight them, in the here and now i say let's get out of China completely. OUR HEMISPHERE

I think we go back to normal in May. The American people recognize when they have been duped. Enough already guys. Enough. You've had your fun.

Blackjack is a big game for them too. Not very good while I see them stating on 16 with a Dealer king and hitting on 14 with a dealer 5.

Macau is the biggest gambling center in the world, does 4 times the business of Vegas. And the previous outbreaks of SARS, Avian flu, and H1N1 did not slow it down at all. Doubt much changes in casinos once we are past the worst of it.

Is Macau currently open?

I've thought about that. I really enjoy driving up to Cherokee NC twice a year for a couple of days to play some WSOP circuit events, usually April and November. Everyone sits shoulder to shoulder and, to your point, everyone in the casino is shoulder to shoulder at almost every table game and the slots.
It's going to be an issue.

Forgot about slots. You can wear a glove, I guess, but don’t need to be too close to others as with other games.

It reopened in late February. Visitors and revenue down like 80 percent. Number of tables have been reduced to space them out, fewer people allowed at tables. We'll see what happens.
I just can't fathom the time frame for Vegas to get back up to speed. You have the psychological aspect of people traveling in close quarters, then the hit the Country has taken in their wallets and impact on discretionary income, and the issue of money, tables, chips touched by multitudes of customers...going to he a slow roll.

For those who have Casino rewards cards, do you think they will be giving away a lot more free play $$ and bonus comps/ratings to incentivize play?
 
I live in Stateline, NV, which might have the highest casino revenue per capita of any city in the world. Our entire community is based on skiing and gambling. So far, one Casino which has been around for 35 years has already closed doors permanently.

It will be interesting to see when they reopen the bigger casinos here, and how that happens.

Any word on reopening?

So the dealer isn't 6 ft from anyone in black jack...or most games

Atlantic City is considering the following:

A few leading suggestions include all gamblers and employees being required to wear face masks, plexiglass separating players at table games, required vacant seats between each slot machine, and body temperature checks prior to access.

I'm in Vegas. Casino groups station, MGM, caesaers gearing up to open.....but only some properties initially, and likely not before June 1st.

That would almost guarantee that the casinos 2 hours west of me in Wendover, won't be opening until then either. :(
 
I am in Riverton, at the south end of the Salt Lake valley.
My wife and I lived for a short time in West Jordan back in 1987. I made that drive to Wendover. Maybe the most desolate stretch of road I've ever driven. I recall a Morton Salt plant and some odd fake Palm Tree...and that's about it, lol. I remember thinking, if my car breaks down I'm screwed...
