Win River Casino Reopening
Win-River Casino will reopen Friday, the first tribal owned casino in California to do so. The casino occupancy will be limited to 650 guests at a time and a lot of space has been made between each gaming machine. Every time somebody gets up and walks away from a machine, it will be sanitized by the staff. Redding area gamblers will be able to place bets at Win River Casino beginning on May 15. The Redding Rancheria made the announcement Friday. The casino staff will conduct temperature screenings of employees and customers as they enter the casino. Masks will be required by all employees and customers. Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TRWH) (the 'Company' or 'Twin River') today announced the reopening of its Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Dover, DE ('Dover Downs') effective June 1st. The Viejas Casino & Resort was the first of several popular casinos in the San Diego area to open this week. Last week, Win-River Resort & Casino in Redding was the first tribal casino to reopen. Several tribal casinos in California are beginning the reopening process, but Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging them otherwise. Win-River Resort & Casino, a tribal resort in Northern California, opened.
Redding Rancheria has authorized Win River Resort and Casino to reopen in a limited capacity on May 15. To make this important decision, we tracked local health data, consulted with our medical directors, and, ultimately, approved a robust and detailed reopening plan.
The reopening plan prioritizes the well-being of our employees and guests and meets or exceeds federal, state, and county guidelines for operating businesses. As part of the reopening plan, we will require temperature screenings of our employees and guests before they enter the casino.
Employees and guests will also be required to wear appropriate facemasks inside the casino. Win River Resort and Casino will provide facemasks as necessary. Guests will also experience a variety of changes inside the casino, including a number of hand sanitizing stations, measures to maintain social distancing and ensure adequate spacing, limited food service, no alcohol sales, and plexiglass barriers where appropriate.
We will continue to monitor the situation actively with a focus on public health and safety. As we all adjust to the new normal, please know that Redding Rancheria is here to support the entire community, not just our members, employees, patients, and guests. We are all in this together!
Monday of next week, May 18, will see the eight casinos in San Diego, California, reopening, with social distancing, taking temperatures, sanitising and face masks, says Fantini’s Gaming Report.
Even earlier, the Win River casino near Redding in northern California will open again on Friday of this week.
Acros the US, gambling is starting again in many states, including horse events in Indiana and Kentucky, charity gaming in New Hampshire and native Indian casinos in North Carolina. North Dakota, Washington DC and Oklahoma also report locations opening this week or next week.
