PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rivers Casino Philadelphia announced today that it will reopen on Friday, July 17, at 9 a.m., following a four-month shutdown to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The reopening of Rivers Casino Philadelphia has been planned in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). On reopening, the casino will have new hours of operation:
*Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 a.m.
*Friday 9 a.m. through Monday 5 a.m. — open 24 hours
The downtime will be used for property-wide deep cleaning; in addition, there will be continuous sanitizing throughout each day. Rivers Casino Philadelphia follows best practices from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and meets or exceeds all COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols announced by the PGCB in May. Additionally, Rivers Casino adheres to all guidelines issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and meets all operating requirements set by the City of Philadelphia.
’Since voluntarily shutting down in March, we’ve been listening closely to public health experts and making changes — from gaming floor modifications to new policies and procedures,’ said Rivers Casino Philadelphia General Manager Rob Long. ’Our goal is to provide the safest possible environment, and we’ll continue evolving as new information becomes available.’
There will still be lots of fun, relaxation and recreation to be found at the newly reopened Rivers Casino Philadelphia — and, importantly, lots of winning for lucky Philadelphians and visitors. Here’s some of what the new experience will look like for guests and Team Members:
MASK MANDATE AND TEMPERATURE CHECKS: Masks must be worn at all times while in the casino — no exceptions, no pulling down. Surveillance and Security — along with all Rivers Casino Philadelphia personnel — will be monitoring continuously and enforcing full compliance. All guests and Team Members will have their temperature taken upon arrival. Anyone with a reading of 100.4 degrees or higher will be denied entry.
NO INDOOR DINING OR DRINKING: There will be no indoor dining or beverage service, alcohol or otherwise. Bottled water will be available for guests on Jack’s Bar + Grill patio, located at the east side of the property along the Delaware River.
NO SMOKING: There will be no smoking or use of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, anywhere inside the casino. Designated smoking areas will be available outside the casino.Philadelphia Casino Reopening Dates
UPDATED GAMING PROTOCOLS: For the accommodation of social distancing,slots will either be placed in alternating operational order or be separated by plexiglass. Seating at table games, like blackjack, has been reduced to no more than three positions per game, while baccarat has been reduced to four players per table; plexiglass will separate all positions including the dealer. For standing games, such as craps and roulette, players will be separated by plexiglass. The Poker Room will not reopen until further notice, per PGCB guidelines.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY UPGRADE: Rivers Casino Philadelphia has recently upgraded its HVAC system to include airPHX®, a patented technology that continuously disinfects indoor air and eliminates coronavirus on surfaces. Rivers Casino Philadelphia also features AtmosAir™, an indoor air quality purification system that has proven to neutralize coronavirus by more than 99.9%. For more information, visit airphx.com and atmosair.com.
A complete list of property-wide safety precautions and gaming floor modifications — introduced to help protect our guests and Team Members — will be published on the casino’s website at RiversCasino.com/Philadelphia.
To comply with state guidelines and further promote social distancing, Rivers Casino will be limiting gaming floor capacity to 25% occupancy until further notice. The casino will manage occupancy via a customer counter at the North Entrance. Valet Parking will not be offered at reopening.
The majority of Rivers Casino’s gaming floor, including the popular BetRivers Sportsbook, will reopen. Operations at PlaySugarHouse.com and BetRivers.com online sportsbook and casino were unaffected by the property shutdown and continue 24/7.
The phased reopening of Rivers Casino Philadelphia means more than half of Rivers Casino’s approximately 1,700 Team Members will be called to return to work. For the latest information, please visit RiversCasino.com/Philadelphia.
For Pennsylvania’s casinos, the least-restrictive phase of Gov. Tom Wolf’s three-phased plan to reopen the state’s economy is designated by an apt color … green.
It’s a color representing money, something synonymous with gambling. While Pennsylvania’s economic shutdown has drastically hit almost all sectors, the gaming sector has felt that hit to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. They all closed more than two months ago as part of the state’s coronavirus mitigation efforts.
In May alone, that translated into an approximately $230 million drop in revenue compared to the same time last year, according Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board numbers. The loss would have been closer $290 million had there not been a surge in online gambling, the PLCB numbers show.
June will be a little better and July will likely be much better for the casinos provided there are no drastic changes in the coronavirus trends showing the number of Pennsylvania cases are declining.
As counties to the west and north of the Lehigh Valley enter the green phase, casinos have been allowed to reopen in accordance with the governor’s orders. Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, which is outside of Harrisburg in Grantville, is opening its casino floor on Friday with a number of restrictions.Rivers Casino Philadelphia Reopen Date
Mohegan Sun Pocono near Wilkes-Barre is set to open at 10 a.m. Monday, also with restrictions. “This reopening will include comprehensive safety and social distancing protocols, some of which include thermal temperature scans at all points of entry, protective mask requirements and limited guest capacity,” Mohegan Sun Pocono says in a statement.
Hollywood is in Dauphin County and Mohegan Sun is in Luzerne County. Both are among the eight counties that will enter the green phase on Friday. Monroe County, which hosts Mount Airy Casino in Mount Pocono, is also among those eight counties.
Mount Airy plans to reopen at noon Monday, a spokeswoman told lehighvalleylive.com. “The Mount Airy team has been diligently cleaning and sanitizing the entire property with EPA approved cleaning and sanitizing agents, and following CDC guidance for workplace cleanliness and safety to ensure that the property is clean and safe prior to reopening,” says a statement from the casino.
As for the Lehigh Valley’s only casino, Wind Creek Bethlehem, an exact opening date remains pending. A spokeswoman told lehighvalleylive.com that it should have an update later this week. It stands to reason that Wind Creek wouldn’t have a firm opening date. Northampton County, like neighboring Lehigh County, remains in the yellow phase of the state’s reopening plan and the Wolf Administration has yet to say when the county will drop down to the green phase. Casinos in Philadelphia and its suburbs are in the same situation.
For the Lehigh Valley, the Wind Creek reopening means more than just an opportunity for patrons to watch the roulette wheel spin, throw dice on the craps table and see another card turned in blackjack. Wind Creek, one of the Lehigh Valley’s largest employers, furloughed 2,100 employees at the start of June.
Even when it does reopen, the casino floor will have a much different feel. The PGCB on May 19 issued a series of protocols that casinos must follow if they are to reopen. Wind Creek, like Mohegan Sun and Mount Airy, will have to follow those protocols, which include limitations on capacity, mandatory masks and employee temperature checks. The complete list of protocols is available here on the PLCB website.
