Masks, Separated Slots, More Cleaning Once Casinos Reopen

Things are likely to be much different for gamblers returning to U.S. casinos whenever they reopen.

Casino executives are making plans to keep employees and guests safe from the coronavirus once the all-clear is given to resume operations.

They're considering having everyone wear masks, turning off some slot machines to keep players apart and installing plexiglass barriers in places.

Slot machines and kiosks will be cleaned more frequently. One Las Vegas casino plans to hand out plastic sticks with which guests can press elevator buttons.

Most of the plans are still being finalized and need the approval of state authorities.
