A lined formed down the block as the casino resumed operations
They may have been rolling the dice with their health, but hundreds of people eager to play slot machines and card games returned to Viejas Casino and Resort in San Diego County on Monday as the gaming venue reopened with new safety guidelines.
Tribes in San Diego County volunteered to shut down casino operations on March 20 shortly after county health officials implemented a number of safety measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, including the closure of all bars and limiting restaurants to takeout only.
Katie Bernard was among the gamers eager to return to Viejas Casino, which she called home. She said she had been counting the days since she heard the casino would reopen and has no fear of catching the coronavirus.“If you’re healthy, you’re fine,” she said. “I’m ready to spend some of that stimulus.”
“We just needed a break, to get out, so we figured the first day would be the cleanest, safest day to go,” he said. “We held to quarantine to a T for two months. We’re making it like a mini-vacay.”
