EXCLUSIVE: Caesars Palace talks post-pandemic upgrades

They do mention poker and show the pic of the 4 handed table with plexiglass posted days ago, but said:

"This will look the same at the poker tables, too, but don’t expect to see any plexiglass. "
There is a video if you can get it to play.

So Foxwoods my home casino will reopen June 1st but the poker room will be closed. What is confusing is I read a couple of news articles about the reopening and 1 site claimed that only Connecticut and RI residents can come. And no buses from New York or Massachusetts. But is that even legal? So if someone drove up from New York would there be a security guard checking ID's and if it isn't from RI or CT the person would be turned away?

Can’t these tribal casinos pretty much do whatever they want?

Anyone else think smaller tables will result in a larger percentage of mixed game tables?

yes they can. so if they want to demand ID proving people only live in CT or RI, that is their right.

Some people go to dentists in places like Tijuana as a form of medical tourism.

Palm Beach Kennel Club opening Friday 5/22.

It looks like hand sanitizer for the dealer button might be the new thing.
Paper cards? Super cheap flimsy and toss every few hours, or day?

"Paper cards will be utilized and discarded at regular intervals"

"Hand sanitizer will be used in lieu of a dealer button. When a player has the sanitizer, they are encouraged to use it"

More Plexiglass, 8 handed tho. Sarasota Kennel Club in Florida.

Why don't they just hand out hazmat suits at the door. Problem solved

Hell yeah, good on you SKC. Every casino should take notice of these simple solutions. Open em up.

I wonder if poker rooms will still have the hot chicks giving massages sans happy endings or if that will be not allowed for a while due to the extreme proximity.

I wonder if there is cheese in the middle of the moon and then later I wonder about what you said.

is there any word on the proposed re-schedule date of the WSOP? is it even gonna be re-scheduled, or just cancelled for the year? it feels like the later it gets, the more likely they'll just cancel this year's series.

With all the openings and soon to be open, the WSOP seems extremely likely to happen in 5 months.

Oddly, SKC says it will require casino customers to wear a mask, UNLESS they are playing at a plexiglass table ....

"Customers will be required to wear a mask if not playing at a plexiglass table"

I think that is half-assed.

The people who want to open stuff up are the sickos. They figure let the old and sick die, it'll save on ss and retirement and health care.

Trump just said today, if 2nd wave does come, we will not be shutting down the country again.

I am in that court. I seem to be incapable of empathy. I was born that way, it is not a choice. No parades for me though.

Fortunately it's not his decision to make.

Then his political campaign rallies may come to resemble The Mask of the Red Death* party.

(*"The Masque of the Red Death" (originally published as "The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy") is a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1842. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, hosts a masquerade ball in seven rooms of the abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn.)

You may not think so but consider this...if the fed govt did not financially support the shutdowns via ppp etc how long do you think shutdowns would last? Fed govt opened the check book with some really big checks that made lockdowns possible.
