Casinos Shut by Coronavirus Get a Glimpse of the Future in Macau


Thin crowds of customers wearing masks and having their temperature taken serve as a possible preview for when casinos in U.S., Australia reopen


At casinos in Macau, the world’s biggest gambling hub, customers must wear masks, have their body temperature taken upon entry and refrain from eating or drinking at the gambling tables.

The new procedures could be a preview of what U.S. casinos, which have largely shut to stop the spread of the coronavirus, will do if they reopen in the coming weeks and months.

they're doing a good job of hiding any Macau sportsbooks in the Casinos I went into ... some hosts didn't even know what I was talking about.. Didn't hit all of them , got bored with the whole thing after a while

Vegas ain't opening anytime soon

Vegas ain't opening anytime soon

Vegas will be open by mid/late may

 

[azbob]

The site i linked said only some casinos there have sports betting.

Re not knowing what you're talking about, did they not understand English? I suppose they don't get many who visitors who speak English in Macau?

Vegas will not ope until Sept 1. Anyone want to take bets on this. Know one of the SUPERVISORS that works at MGM. Was told to prepare to collect unemployment until August.
