The Muckleshoot Tribe today announced the re-opening of the Muckleshoot Casino and Bingo in Auburn, Washington, on Tuesday May 26.
“The Tribal Council’s decision to close the casino and bingo more than two months ago was based on our deep commitment to protecting the health and safety of our guests, employees, tribal members, and the greater community,” said Muckleshoot Chair Jaison Elkins. “It is with that same commitment that we now move forward with a carefully planned, phased re-opening of our gaming establishments.”
Some of the features of the re-opening program include mandatory physical distancing, aggressive deep cleaning and sanitation, multiple hand-sanitation stations throughout the buildings, plexiglass shields in close-contact areas, and mandatory temperature checks for all guests and employees upon entering the building. The casino and bingo will also be smoke–free.
The Tribe will carefully monitor operations and public-health data and be prepared to make any needed changes as it gains more experience operating in this new environment.
