Foxwoods announces this on their site; nothing yet for Mohegan Sun.Quote: racquetFoxwoods and Mohegan (Connecticut) have announced that table games are closed...
Staffing fewer tables and closing some hotels sounds like a wise business move in terms of bean counting. Not so much for public health.Quote: racquet... Foxwoods said that table games in one section would remain open. That seems silly: crowd all the table game players still there onto a smaller number of open tables?
Quote: darkozHere is what I see in Atlantic City casinos
Men smoking cigars and women smoking cigarettes and blowing smoke halfway across the casino
Considering how the virus is transmitted this seems like just another situation smokers don't care about anyone's health
What the open casinos should at least do is ban smoking and any other air transmitted habits.
Nice thought...never happen.
Parx casino closing.
Quote: rsactuaryall Ohio casinos either close down or limit to no more than 100 people (staff and guest combined). That can't possibly be worth the effort...
How the heck can they even do something like that? A person enters only if someone else leaves?
This has gotten crazy.
I'm leaning that we take the next 2 weeks and shut down every non essential business. Declare martial law. A state by state approach is nonsensical. Should be a consistent approach for all 50 states.

Maryland governor issues emergency order to close all casinos, racetracks
From CNN's Liz Turrell
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan issued an emergency order to close all Maryland casinos, racetracks and simulcast betting facilities to the general public indefinitely today.
"This situation continues to evolve and will escalate rapidly and dramatically….these are unprecedented actions in an extraordinary situation, but they could be the difference in saving lives and keeping people safe," Hogan said.
The order does not apply hotels adjacent to the casinos.
The following properties are affected by the governor’s emergency order, which takes effect at midnight on March 16 and will remain in effect until the state of emergency has been terminated or until superseded by other orders:

The Mississippi casinos remain open and fully operational, but some shows are cancelled. MS Gaming was quoted as wanting to keep their current position "fluid" as the situation continues to develop. We'll see if this is a wise business move or not.

Its all about leadership.
I'm waiting for martial law to be declared so that you can't even leave your house without the government's permission.
On the good side, it's caused a fire sale on Wall Street.
Also, I'm making a lot of money by selling my toilet paper at gouge prices on Craig's list.
And why in the hell are they still letting gamblers still smoke and vape in the casinos!!!
