Casino Close thread
Finally CONSISTENCY prevails.Quote: ThatDonGuyJust announced by the Governor: all Nevada gaming, including all slot and VP machines, must be stopped effective midnight Tuesday night (3/17).
With MGM closing a few days ago that means a thirty-four day shut down for them as any prior shutdown basically gets reset due to the directive
Quote: JohnnyQFinally CONSISTENCY prevails.
Yeah...that was my main gripe. Leave Dotty’s open but force senior centers to close?
Close MGM but Planet Hollywood stays open?
I have no idea what the best course of action is but inconsistency is just plain bad.

Because every day their SUV's
are gone all day, and every
weekend they're home all
day. Now the SUV's never
move.

You should probably send them a letter to make sure they are ok. You can call the police, explain the situation and they'll check on their welfare. I hesitated with my elderly neighbor on night because his tv was always on and it wasn't on that night. I didn't do anything and they found him dead. He was kind of a jerk, liked leaving on Halloween to not give candy on Halloween, so I;m not worried about it and never was.

Of course they're OK, he's out there
running the chain saw hours as day
and the kids are running around
chasing the dog. It's the weekend
there everyday now.

Didn’t you once get their bank statement in the mail ?

Those are the people across the street.
I've gotten it two more times since then
and I just stick it in their mailbox.
Quote: rdw4potusFigured I might as well make a planned trip to Mystic Lake to grab freeplay and see what they were doing.
Not sure if you're still around, but both of the Grand Casinos closed.
Quote: MintyNot sure if you're still around, but both of the Grand Casinos closed.
Yeah, they acted really quickly. Grands closed before Mystic and TI even went to mandatory spacing measures. Mystic announced this morning that they're closing at noon and staying closed for at least 14 days. TI closed at 9pm yesterday.
I'm really interested to see what happens during the closures. I know Mystic had layout changes they wanted to make (moving walkways & rearranging slot banks). This would be a great time to put down new carpet or perform any maintenance that requires chemicals with a strong odor.
What will all the gambling addicts do when the casinos all shut down?
Will they flock to the online casinos?
What about people who have money who get bored at home?

Quote: AxelWolfThis is something that I've paid attention to closely since the 90s. I have always hoped this would be the case, but in my experience the casinos tend to give out more in terms of promotions/ free play/ deals when they're doing well and they tighten up when they're doing bad.
They probably all learned their lesson after 2008 when Don Johnson took advantage of their desperation and cleaned them out for millions... haha

I have no idea what their position is when it comes to giving whales great deals either way.
I agree in general this appears to be true
I am hopeful this is a different scenario. It's not a singular casino but the entire industry. Somewhere a casino is going to offer"better" comps than another which will spur that one to up the ante.
Hopefully it becomes a snowball effect when casinos are desperate to revitalize their economy and customer base

Quote: ThatDonGuyJust announced by the Governor:
On that note...Not exactly a casino, but NYC Gov DeBlasio is "about to order a 'stay in place'". That comment, in context, was part hyperbolic exasperation, but he is meeting with Cuomo today to discuss exactly that. Not sure if there's any gaming that far down, but I know there's gamers there.
School here is closed anywhere from a month to rest of year. With Rochester's first death and it now kicking off in Erie county, I would expect a long wait for Seneca and can only imagine what getting to Fallsview would entail.

Fallsview closed. Some are suggesting DeBlasio does not have the authority to enact a "Stay in Place" order. That it would need to come from Cuomo. I'd prefer that.
At this point, other than AP's for whom the casino is their place of work, or for those actually employed in the casino industry, I'd say casino news would be so low on my list.....
That being said..... I will be at Seneca Niagara within days of its re-opening!

When people work a Monday-Friday 9 to 5 job, this is pretty common. I don't understand why you're concerned. They either were told to work from home or not work at all. A lot of people are facing that right now.
Quote: DogHandIn the South, all casinos in Louisiana and Mississippi are closed as well
The articles are silent concerning Native American casinos, so I presume they remain open.
The Seminole casinos in Florida remain open (mostly, closing poker room, sports betting, etc.).
Not sure what those casinos might be thinking, but governors' shutdown orders apparently do not apply. The Florida Seminoles are pretty savvy business people. Their actions make no sense to me.

This is getting out of my area and a bit of hijack, but I think they can make their decision on this.

Governor can close the roads in and out of a casino. A dozen state troopers and a few speed sticks and no one is going to work or play.
WRONG! You owe me some push-ups or something like that. Actually, think you enjoy doing push-ups, so I would prefer some other punishment.Quote: Wizard

I saw these headlines on my wife's news app, I couldn't find the link(I didn't look that hard).
Don't yell at me if it's fake news.
I guess shutting down is optional unless you're a casino here in LV?
Quote: WizardThis is getting out of my area and a bit of hijack, but I think they can make their decision on this.
At least here in MN, that's exactly how the tribes operated. Grand casinos closed about 2 days before the governor ordered entertainment venues to close. Treasure Island closed 4 hours after the order took effect, Mystic Lake closed 19 hours "late". I'm not sure what the minor outstate properties did.

By a casino, I mean one with table games. I am not counting that gas station off the 95 on the way to Mount Charleston. Is that what you meant by a "casino"? If you can give me one with table games, I'll give you 50 push-ups.

Thanks, I did not know that. What I meant was a casino with table games.

LuckyPhow,
All three Native American casinos in Louisiana have voluntarily closed:
Coushatta Casino: https://www.coushattacasinoresort.com/media/316
Paragon Casino: https://www.paragoncasinoresort.com
Cypress Bayou Casino: https://www.cypressbayou.casino/news-1/covid-19-coronavirus

You have actually been asked this question before and you haven't been given the answer. And there's a slight chance it was in the extended part of my trivia quiz as well.

Biggest problem will be supply and demand but that will almost certainly arc within a month or two as well.
I'm guessing once the bulk of infection and treatments(even if it's home quarantine for positive persons) are able to be administered the country will feel more confident about reopening
30,000 tests.Quote: darkozI expect this will be the (positive) game changer soon

Is that fencing you are leaning always there or is it closing the actual streer?
One thing about Freemont Street Casinos is they are so open you almost have to wonder when they last closed the doors, or do they in the winter? Do they even have the keys to the doors?
Quote: AxelWolf30,000 tests.

30,000 tests the first week.
The scale will ramp up just like any industry.
$135 to those people out of work as a get back to work cost will be fine. Some employers may even cover the cost to get their workers back.
And insurance should cover these as well
The average cost of a low-spec blu-ray player is about the same. Americans need to get their priorities straight

The in-laws still have a BetaMax. No joke.
Quote: AZDuffmanIs that fencing you are leaning always there or is it closing the actual streer?
It's closing the actual street. There are guards there to enforce it, who moved out of the line of shot of the picture. No, it's not usually barricaded.
Quote:One thing about Freemont Street Casinos is they are so open you almost have to wonder when they last closed the doors, or do they in the winter? Do they even have the keys to the doors?
I've never seen them close on account of weather -- or anything. Somebody once told me that the doors at 7-11 don't even have locks, because they never close, but I am dubious of that.
