How are casinos allowed to stay open in states where have banned gatherings of over 1000

[Doug]

Then maybe directives by states don't pertain to Tribal law and they can do whatever they want?

possibly, I'm not an attorney

 

[Willie99]

Mentioned already, in CT they're on reservations and not subjected to this stuff

Haven't heard of "crowds" gathering to protest them remaining open. Somewhat astonishing to me. Guess someone with too much time on their hands hasn't thought of that.

 

[tanner12oz]

Pittsburgh casino just closed

 

[HotRocks]

NC Gov wants no gatherings over 100

Walmart has way more customers than that. lol

 

[StreetSmart2019]

Just went to Turning Stone Casino in upstate NY and it was pretty busy for 8am. Pit boss said no closure in sight as of now. But they will close once it's a mandatory quarantine for everyone to stay home.

I like Joe Lupo's, President of the Hard Rock Casino in Atlantic City comment. You can go to a supermarket, go to an airport and go to a casino. That's an intelligent comment. Two of those are essential to the daily lives of people, the third is not. How can Illinois close their casinos yet Las Vegas and Atlantic City sit idly by. It shows how this country isn't serious about actually stopping the spread of the virus.

Tanner, were you at the 2010 BC when she lost? I have a cool picture frame with program, Zenyatta to win ticket, Mike Smith autograph and other stuff..

Regarding the topic, Oaklawn not allowing folks in, but the casino is....:think2:

My casino is still open, last night was a little bit slow for a friday, but the crowd lingered. We did cancel the music event in our club

Then maybe directives by states don't pertain to Tribal law and they can do whatever they want?

you answered it. foxwoods and mohegan could care less what the state asks them to do. they are staying open.
