Foxwoods Resort·Casino (Mashantucket, CT) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.09.16 - Page 948 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I bet most casinos won't be opening back up anytime soon. They just don't want to close/cancel things too far out, so they'll do it a few weeks at a time.

So this happened... I think that Local 2121 is the poker dealers union.

Apparently Mohegan hasn’t done anything to their employees yet.

If the place is mobbed when it re-opens, nothing. If it is near empty, you'll at least get the next tier.

If and when foxwoods reopens in stages I think the poker room will be the last to open.
Slots can be separated to give distance to players. blackjack etc. can open with 3-4 players per table but poker tables, will anyone want to play if they limit number to 3-5 players? Will dealers want to sit next to players in seats 1 and 10 every down?
One thing for sure I wont want to sit 10 handed for hours until this is 99% under control or a vaccine is out.

i would love to find a legal casino right now with a 5 handed game. hardly any different than 6 max online, except the players would be much weaker and easier to beat since they wont be using a hud to cheat.

We are currently standing 6 feet behind each other waiting to enter a half empty grocery store with most people this morning wearing masks. Until there is a vaccine we are going to have guidelines in place especially in heavily populated areas like the Northeast. My best guess would be poker rooms re-opening in July and 5 or 6-handed as the distancing guidelines wouldn't allow for more. I'll say there is close to a zero percent chance of 10-handed games returning before a vaccine, if ever. 10-handed doesn't exist anymore in most of the country anyway.

The MTGC must approve something like that...no matter what.

It's not like there's anything else to do.

Nobody "knows" anything for sure although casinoplayer is correct in that the MTGC must approve any changes which unless they are blind to what is occurring around us should be the case. It is ok to logically formulate our own opinions and discuss what the future may hold. Personally I am not very optimistic on the remainder of 2020 pre-vaccine in regards to live poker.

Macau has slowed considerably since they reopened with many distancing restrictions playing a factor. They are probably more of a guide to Vegas as a travel destination but you can apply some of their effects of COVID-19 to our local rooms as well.

How that happens, and what the logistics of it will be... I don't know. But it is certainly likely to happen sooner than a vaccine, which is still probably more than a year away.

CEO was canned effective immediately. Maybe he was giving away too many electric milk shake makers.

The reason given is certainly plausible (left to spend more time with family), especially if any members have fallen ill. It's also possible that he saw the writing on the wall that the place is doomed and jumped ship. I don't see how they make their next loan payment on June 30.

Look, if creditors are giving people like me breaks during these times, even with the loss of revenue that Foxwoods has dealt with, they still have plenty of reasons to work with them and make a deal that all parties can live with.

It may be that the CEO was insisting that payments to the tribe members be completely stopped, including salaries and the tribal council refused to accept that.

The value is in the business and if you shut it down you can’t unilaterally reopen it. The best option for creditors is likely a combination of deferral, extension and restructuring with maybe even partial forgiveness.
