The new COVID-19 wave does not sound good for land based casino operators as state governments have shown in the past that their first tendency is to lockdown public gatherings and land based casinos fall into category.    <\/p>\n<p>Casino operators throughout the U.S are currently following a stringent set of COVID-19 regulations but most of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/news\/resorts-world-casino-new-york-ordered-to-enforce-covid-19-vaccine-checks\/\">protocols are voluntarily and not mandatory<\/a>.

Seneca Gaming said they were forced to take this step given the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in New York. The mask mandate will remain in place till further notice.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the top casinos in Michigan have also issued a mandatory mask requirement for all patrons from Nov 23. M<strong>otorCity Casino Hotel, MGM Grand Detroit and Greektown Casino<\/strong> have confirmed that anyone entering their premises must do so wearing a mask. This decision comes after Michigan made a recommendation last week and asked residents to wear a mask.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan casino operators said they decided to make mask wearing mandatory as they wanted to protect their patrons and prevent any COVID-19 outbreak at their premises. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary New wave of COVID-19 causing trouble in America U.S Casino operators call for mask mandates Michigan and New York operators first to enforce mask mandates The United States is experiencing yet another outbreak of COVID-19 and media reports suggest that the new wave could be serious.
