"Poker Tournaments" are reopening little by little.

[MCobian]

This is good news for fans of Poker games, we can watch the tournament again. Although this tournament can not be watched in person
live in casinos, at least will be broadcast live streaming. We who have long wanted to see a poker tournament can be happy with this news.
I don't think this poker tournament will bring huge development in the gambling industry, because poker is not the safest choice to play
gambling. There are still many safer game choices, why are there so poker games highlighted. Possibility are poker has high popularity.

I believe that they will follow the rules strictly because they are doing it not just for themselves but also for their customers. It's about taking care of their customers health so that they can get back again to them whenever they want.

But if they don't take care of the health of their gamblers seriously, it's a loss for them. Thus, they also have to follow it because of the local government rules and that's the reason in the first place why they're back at it again.

Taking health is not difficult, but most people are not aware of that, and only in this Covid-19, people now become aware of health. In everywhere, public areas, hand sanitizers, and water to wash people's hands are available, and they suggested to clean their hand before entering to one place. I believe that should be done in the casino, so their customer and employees will always remind each other about clean.

If they can do that, yes, the casino will always allow reopening their business, and perhaps, if that succeeds to be applied in one casino, the other casino should follow if they don't want to get a problem in the future.

What you mean by "taking health isn't difficult"?

The sanitation has always been part of their operations and disinfecting will be part of the new norm so, expect that most casinos that will be opening which will conduct poker tournaments or any kind of tournaments in their jurisdiction will apply it.

I mean, actually, we can be healthy with easy, without using any method. Just try to wash your hand clean, consume healthy food, sleep well, always think positive. I am sorry if that is confusing you

I am sure they will try to make sure that their place is clean and they will always remind people who come or stay to always wash their hands after touching anything. I hope that there will not be any new case of Covid-19 after reopening the casino in that city.

Those things you have said are methods to remain healthy and clean during this pandemic.

As I have said, those opening casinos and the ones that will have the tournaments will apply safety precautions to make each and everyone of their people and customers become safe and at least minimize the transmission of the covid19 disease.

I'm also hoping that they won't be the reason for new cases.

why it seems that those other player are not wearing Mask?is this not obligatory for everyone inside casinos?

This must be taking action by the government because this literally against the rules of the government towards casino operators.

apparently it complies with social distancing requirements. las vegas initially limited tables to 4-max and most casinos are still sticking with that. by installing the dividers, the bellagio was approved for 6-max games and masks aren't required in the poker room. that's a pretty big draw for customers. americans hate masks.

Well Social distancing by 1 meter is really effective for not infecting people near us but the spread is there the more they can Bring the Virus in everything near them,I know how irritating wearing mask specially when you are in place in which you are comfortable but i think this must be implemented still for whatever reason they have.

But it looks very decent the way Bellagio put those Divider .

the dividers are probably pretty effective and i assume they are sanitized whenever a player leaves, but i dunno for sure.

Yeah thats what I am hoping that sanitizing every now and then will put another measure in keeping their players safe.

Its really great that gamblers are practicing social distancing, and they are still wearing their face mask, gloves, and face shields while they are inside the casino because it can keep them away from catching the virus while they are enjoying themselves in playing gambling. But I still recommend gamblers should stay inside their home because it is still unsafe even lockdowns are already lifted in other countries.

[Ryker1]

the bellagio has done this, installing plexiglass dividers at the tables between players. this allowed them to increase table capacity to 6-max instead of 4-max, and they even removed the requirement to wear masks:

This is how it should be, of course, they need to disinfect every seat, tables, and coins that they've used after every games , the staff who are the most exposed should wear a face mask or glass mask and always have alcohol handy, they should not make a mistake of any one of them get infected or the operation will be stopped. 

Well, that is a part of being the norm now, there are a variety of strategies from the casino just to have safety measures to their players and should safe from the possible infection of the virus. Even in the safety gear ^[FACEMASK], there are various of them just like what I saw a transparent one that everyone can see your smile even you have a facemask ^{[I will show image below]}. This perhaps good for front liner staff of casino must wear at least we see their sweet smile despite COVID19 has been around.

Though they are required to use that kind of protection for them to be allowed to play both the management and the gamblers. The government is implementing these rules to certain establishments that have a number of people to operate like this casino, Though it is better than playing on an underground casino before when strict policies were implemented by the government. It's just good that the hunger of gamblers from playing gambling is now fulfilled. Even though they have strict policies like wearing a mask, face shields, and gloves gamblers will be cooperative because it is the new normal even outside the casino.

How about the cards being passed from one player to another? Btw, this will really help reduce the transmission of the virus but still with the risk of being infected though, if you can't really resist not to play, and for the casino owners to start operating, this strict measures should be applied to each casino.

Gamblers could actually play poker games online as an alternative, though there are some essential gameplays that they can miss such as reading the opponent's mind, and experiencing the actual feeling of playing live.

My newsfeed is mostly composed of previous poker games and some with celebrity poker game tournaments for A cause or something. I must say that I miss watching live poker competitions for educational and entertainment purposes, of course.

I like what Ryker1 posted, and I saw that as about that facemask as well. It's quite expensive for a facemask, but it should be required if playing in poker to see the expressions or something.

[ryzaadit]

I think everyone should watch "Brad Owen" channel on youtube, he did a gambling poker vlog a few days ago.

If you watch the video, each player has their own seat and each seat has some glass to separate each other so we don't need to contact each other. For more protective still need to wear some mask and glove since you still touched the chips from the game. I think this is a good progress too for a gambling business they still thinking about how to prevent to spread the virus even when the business running.

I see on this thread, some people already sharing the same post as me by some pictures.

This should be everybody's business now, any company or industry will not be allowed to open or operate if they do not apply for reopening of their company, they have been given guidelines, protocols and government asked for their own list of protocols if it is does not conform to the protocols they will reject it.
No company can operate because they want to they are given permission based on the study of the authorities.

[South Park]

Do you think this will bring a huge development or improvement in a Gambling Industry? Will poker be the only safest option to play gambling right now?

Why would it even bring a "development" when the current state of the Gambling Industry is actually experiencing a depression? Any type of gambling right now, as long as it's performed outside and with other people, is equally unsafe. Not one game out there is safer than others, and that's pretty much the same even outside of gambling. As long as you go outside, you have the risk of being infected.

If anything poker is a game that is even more risky when it comes to the pandemic, for example if you are playing slots as long as the machines were put further apart from each other and the machines were sanitized after each use then your risk of contracting the coronavirus or any other disease go down dramatically, however with poker you are all playing on the same table and even if  fewer number of players were allowed on each table you are touching the same cards and chips, so if someone was infected without knowing it and you touched the cards or the chips and then you touched your face you could infect yourself that way.

Yeah, but the shittings is.

The demonstrate/supporter non-wear mask could make a problem, I believe there a few customers who not wearing a mask and when the security of a business operator suggest him to wear a mask he refused it. When he got rejected by the business owner he will make a problem, and the customer will act like the victim. The problem on America only that's I think from watching a few news.

That would definitely be a potential problem that needs to be checked. Because obviously most of the casino goers are the monied class and they expect great service to be given to them and they have a different attitude somewhat different from the normie gamblers. Possibly entitled and narcissistic, they will throw at you the victim card once you have not pampered them even though they are violating health protocols.

Every company and government is trying to use the protocols to prevent the virus, and they want to help people from getting infected. I am sure that if they can work together to minimalize the infection, it can work well for people. It will also prevent people from getting infected, so there is no worry about that anymore until the vaccine can be found. But yes, we still need the vaccine because that is the only cure (probably) to kill the virus in the infected people.

Perhaps, the table itself will have a screener or plastic to border the players, and the players must wear a mask during the games.

the bellagio has done this, installing plexiglass dividers at the tables between players. this allowed them to increase table capacity to 6-max instead of 4-max, and they even removed the requirement to wear masks:



..

Looking at the Pict,there are still some tables that is not occupied so i assume that there are a little demand In playing to real casino?

since they limit 6 pax per table yet there are still vacant seats and tables.

if this is true then People are still afraid going/playing in Casino live instead they choose online gaming.

Better for them to Be safer,because gambling can wait .

There is no need in such masks, as long it is arranged as in the pictures in this thread. The plexiglass dividers at the tables between players are much more effective than those expensive masks and no dividers, that's why they(in casino) have chosen this option.

vegas is still limiting the casinos to 50% capacity. they aren't allowed to fill every table. some of the casinos are even self-imposing lower capacity limits than that.

The plexiglass dividers at the tables between players are much more effective than those expensive masks and no dividers, that's why they(in casino) have chosen this option.

the bellagio is doing it but i think most of the casinos are requiring masks. i dunno if the dividers are more effective, but they are certainly more inviting. wearing a mask for hours at a time is horrible.

the silver lining if you wear mask+sunglasses+hoodie though is that you certainly won't be giving away any tells.

They still need to wear masks because after they stop playing gambling and want to go out of that place, they should wear masks. The masks will be other protocols that they should use to obey the government's rule when they are in the public area. That plexiglass dividers can be applied in the poker games, but it will better if they can wear a mask too.
