More than six months after it closed its doors due to the pandemic, Casino Moose Jaw is preparing to welcome back guests to its gaming floor for some fun and frivolity.
The casinos in Moose Jaw and Regina will reopen their doors on Sunday, June 20, with The Friendly City venue to open from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. and The Queen City site open from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. daily.
The casinos have implemented several changes that visitors and employees will have to follow once the doors reopen:
- The casinos will be limited to one entrance and one exit to maintain physical distancing and comply with public health orders
- Capacity will be limited to maintain physical distancing. Decals and signs about physical distancing will be placed strategically at the entrance and throughout the gaming floors.
- Staff will screen guests upon arrival, while only guests who have been successfully screened will be allowed inside
- The casinos have increased the frequency of cleaning and sanitization — hand sanitizer stations are placed throughout the gaming floors — with an emphasis on high-touch surfaces such as slot machines, railings, elevator buttons and door handles. Guests can also ask to have their machines cleaned on demand
- Gaming services will be limited to slot machines, with every third machine available for play. Touch-bet terminals featuring live roulette, three-card poker, Blackjack, and Baccarat will be available at Casino Regina; felt table play on live table games is unavailable right now
- There will be designated food and beverage areas at both casinos. The restaurant at Casino Regina will remain closed
- Masks are mandatory for all guests and employees inside the buildings to comply with current public health orders
Since peace of mind is important during the pandemic, all employees at both casinos will be screened before they report for work, the casinos said. Staff have also been trained to understand and implement the organization’s health and safety procedures.
Until public health restrictions have been lifted, neither casino will be open 24 hours on the weekend. This change has been made to give the organizations enough time to fully clean all properties with an electrostatic sprayer before the opening of each business day.
