T
he Casino MK in Milton Keynes, England, is set to reopen its doors at half capacity on Friday, October 30, for the first time in just over seven months.
The Aspers-run casino at Xscape was forced to close in March, just like all other venues, due to the coronavirus lockdown, MKFM reports. Restaurants, cinemas, and other entertainment and hospitality venues gradually started to reopen in the summer but casinos were amongst the few businesses that had to remain closed.
The Casino MK will be operating on reduced capacity to ensure social distancing can be followed, with opening hours reduced to 12 hours a day, from 10am to 10pm. Hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the casino and guests will be asked to sanitize prior to entering. Poker is expected to return as well, table games will be limited to three seats per table and slot machines and electronic roulette terminals, with there being dividers and chairs removed to ensure social distancing can be followed. Betting chips and cards will also be sanitized, according to the company.
