Even if casinos are willing to be innovative, you also need players to accept those changes.
The question is if a middle ground exists where the game is both save for everyone involved and still fun and convenient enough for recreational players to be interested in playing.
Electronic tables is a great example. Card rooms quickly realized if they offered both regular and electronic tables, nobody was interested in the latter. So they had to go back to just regular tables or make all tables in the room electronic. Unfortunately for them, they found out the hard way that it’s not regular tables > electronic tables > no poker but regular tables > no poker > electronic tables.
The longer I think about it the more I worry that if it’s going to take a very long time for games to get back to normal, a lot of recreational players might have replaced poker with another hobby they picked up during that time.
