The following is a short recap of what I've noticed on the implemented new procedures once the casinos reopened, approximately a week and a half ago in the central Midwest. These are major casino chains with prominent and large properties.

No plexiglass barriers at table games;

Very few Plexiglas barrier slot machines and I stress very few;

Some slot machines turned off betweeneach other and other ones have signs on them saying that they're I've been disabled due to C-19 requirements;

Three or five people max at the baccarat tables depending on the property;

Three people max at the majority of the blackjack tables that I did observe walking through the casino floor;

Some casinos have the self-serve drink stations open and other casinos did not;

Cocktail waitresses had styrofoam cups at all the casinos nobody had the real glasses;

Two of the three casinos I went to had a new no-smoking policy implemented and the other one said, smoking in moderation;

Some of the players clubs were not functioning and they would not issue player cards but the pit Personnel offered to put you in the computer with your play and it would be counted towards a card, at a later date once the  players clubs reopened;

No temperature checks the way it was so hyped up about even in the midwest here;

One Casino was mandatory to sanitize hands each time you sat down or came back to the baccarat table or stepped away, the other two casinos did have hand sanitizer on top of the table, it was not mandatory to use.

Limited entrances and exits at all three of the casinos I went to, with security personnel greeting or giving everybody the once-over real quick;

At one of the casinos, you had to give your driver's license or other ID and they swiped it through their computer system. I can only assume they were checking it against some type of list of banned players and/or taking a count on who was on the property since they are limited to 50% capacity by their state governing gaming officials.
