As of today 3/14 there is a concert one week from today and tickets are still for sale. Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant MI. has a 3000 seat concert hall. Indian run casino should follow with shutting down events of 500 or more people yes?
Left there yesterday. Looked like 50-60% less crowded. But everything open.

Illinois casinos will close for two weeks starting Monday.
And for the next 2 weeks this will push gamblers to every bar, restaurant, truck stop and VFW in the state that has video gaming.

Went to the casino yesterday, and plan on going tomorrow.

Yesterday, Friday afternoon, I'd estimate 50% fewer people than normal. I expected to see hand sanitizer stations everywhere - yet, I had to wander into the high-limit section to find one.

I asked my boss what the company's CV policy was. His response was "keep working, and pick up the pace'.

I understand that alcohol kills a virus. Anyone know the blood/alcohol level necessary? :D

I guess about the same as what over 100 people in Northern India just drank and immediately died.

Indiana too; is also closing all of their casinos for 2 weeks beginning Monday. People in the Midwest are quickly running out of options.

Our church closed for two weeks. We have a lot of elderly members, many are health compromised. If this virus gets into a nursing home, it could kill most of them. So far the casinos are open. God is closed, the casino is open. :evil:

Gaming commission inaction. Considering how people on the forum bemoan them here, I'm far from surprised.

RUMOR is the Vegas strip will close soon.

See you later today pokerpokerpoker!
