The CEO of the Wynn has published a detailed plan to reopen, including details on what the future of live poker might look like.
In the week where the World Series of Poker was officially postponed, one Las Vegas poker room appears to be planning to reopen.
Wynn Resorts CEO Matt Maddox published suggestions to get the Las Vegas economy to gradually reopen mid May.
In amongst his detailed suggestions, he published these guidelines for his poker room:
Cleaning & Sanitizing Protocol
a) Supervisors to sanitize table game rails after each customer leaves (ongoing)
b) Supervisors to sanitize each chair area after a customer leaves (ongoing)
c) Supervisors to sanitize the outside of shufflers every hour; inside to be cleaned once per week
d) Supervisors to sanitize podiums at least once per hour including phones, computers, Veridocs, all hard surface and cabinetry
e) Dealers to sanitize in table rating units each time they enter a game
f) Dealers to sanitize toke boxes
g) Chip sanitation solutions being reviewed pending expert guidance
Physical Distancing Protocol
a) Every other table open and tables to be staggered
b) Maximum seating to be established based on expert guidance
c) Dealers to verbally give breaks instead of “tapping in” and maintain appropriate separation
Guest Considerations
a) Guests will be reminded to sanitize their hands prior to the start of play
b) Food service protocols to be reviewed.
Other measures Maddox has suggested including guests being required to take non-invasive temperature checks before being allowed into the resort.
It does seem inevitable that live poker is going to have to implement at least some of the suggested measures above when they first reopen, and for the foreseeable future, if not permanently. Prior to all of the major festivals cancelling because of coronavirus the major tournaments that remained open did take new steps to clean the playing areas and offer hand sanitiser to all players.
