The poker room staff probably has zero participation in any online activities. And there is probably a small overlap of players who would play both. If they had the dealers, they would be holding in person tournaments regardless of their online ones. Maybe they wouldn't overlap the major live series' like the Borgata Summer Open, but they would still hold their normal daily tourneys.
I noticed a dealer from Bally's dealing at the Borgata earlier today. If Bally's doesn't re-open their poker room, their former dealers who want remain in the field will be available for hire by the Borgata when they feel they have the player base to resume tournaments. I suspect they're waiting for the second COVID wave to define itself with respect to mask/vaccine mandates and whether or not they might have to close again, and how the public will react, before proceeding with expanding their staff to accommodate tournaments.
