On Tuesday, The Casino at Dania Beach announced the mask mandate would go into effect immediately.

“Our main priority is keeping our guests and staff healthy and safe,” said Arnaldo Suarez, CEO and general manager for the Dania Beach casino. “Due to the highly contagious Delta variant, we believe it’s in everyone’s best interest to reinstate our mandatory face mask policy until further notice.”

As of Monday, guests and staff entering Calder Casino are also required to wear masks.

“We are monitoring the ongoing developments of COVID-19 with vigilance and are following the recommendations provided by the CDC and other public health experts,” the casino said in a note to players.
