The uncontrollable spread of COVID-19 has made it very difficult for the US casino industry to function in most states. Across the country, casinos are limiting the number of customers on their floors or are closing their doors to casual and experts bettors in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Casinos were particularly hard hit in the spring, when most were forced to shutter. On March 19, the American Gaming Associationissued a release on the crisis. AGA President and CEO Bill Miller said:

With a spike of coronavirus cases in the fall of 2020, casinos are once again being forced to shut down in many states. Most casinos remain open in some respect, but that will likely change.

Though many gamblers will turn to horse betting, online casinos and online poker, our staff at PlayUSA wants to keep you up to date with a list of casino properties that have suspended operations in the wake of this global pandemic.

A long line of people were at the casino Monday morning, in a socially distanced line.

Several new COVID-19 safety protocols will be established at both places of business, such as guests getting their temperatures checked and answering a few screening questions whenever they walk through the door.

Meanwhile, hand sanitizer will be available throughout the casino.

Guests are encouraged to wear masks but are not mandatory.

“I mean, I understand that we have to keep 6 feet apart,' said visitor Margaret Raunn. 'As long as everyone does what they’re supposed to do, we’ll be fine.”

The Tropicana Hotel and Taphouse will reopen on Thursday.

The Le Merigot Hotel will remain closed for now.

The Casino at French Lick is also open for business Monday.
