We aren’t bluffing. Some poker rooms in Pennsylvania could be reopening in a few weeks. According to a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, some casinos have submitted plans and safety protocols for review. No specific dates or names of properties were given.

However, it’s positive news for poker players who have been waiting a long time to get back to live games. Casinos in Pennsylvania starting shutting down to slow the spread of coronavirus in mid-March. They did not begin to welcome back guests until June but poker rooms were not open due to the social nature of the game.

Closed poker rooms, tight-lipped operators

A representative for Rivers said dates for reopening poker rooms at Rivers Casinos in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are yet to be determined.

A Penn National representative did not have any updates on poker rooms at The Meadows or Hollywood Casino. Play Pennsylvania has requests into other casinos for comment.

So, it seems for now operators are playing it close to the vest.

Players pine for poker

When the PGCB released their casino reopening protocols in late May, a part of it stated that poker rooms were not authorized to operate due to players handling of cards and chips. Poker room operations would be re-examined based upon changes with the CDC and PA Department of Health guidance.

On June 9, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh was the first to welcome back visitors. When asked when poker rooms would return, PGCB Director of Communication Doug Harbach said poker rooms present a different type of challenge since people are sitting close together in a room. He said at the time:

“The casinos want to walk before they run and make sure they are getting the venue open and then move on to opening up other areas once they know the protocols are working well.”

PokerStars, the state’s lone site has posted healthy numbers in PA, but players are still pining for in-person play.

Harbach gave this update to PlayPennsylvania in late August about poker rooms in Pennsylvania:

“There has been no alteration to the casino reopening protocols released by the Gaming Control Board in May in which poker rooms were not authorized to operate. At the same time, this guideline can be reexamined based on health experts’ guidance. Should casinos wish to explore reopening a casino room, it would need to provide plans to do so safely which would be reviewed by the Board on a case-by-case basis.”

They have a self-branded poker platform and their software powers World Series of Poker (WSOP) online and mobile sites.

Health and safety at PA casinos

When live poker starts again in Pennsylvania, here are a few things you should know in case you have not been to a casino since they reopened. Per the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, all casinos in the state must follow COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols, which details the minimum safety and health-related requirements that are mandatory before reopening.

Casinos may also choose to do additional measures such as temperature checks at the entrance.

Key points to remember are:

• Casinos can reopen at 50% capacity. (Rivers Casino Philadelphia is open at 25%.)
• Employees and guests must wear masks.
• Markings on the floor to promote social distancing.
• Enhanced cleaning throughout the facility.

In addition, there is a current pause on smoking at casinos, no drink service on the gaming floor, and no sitting at the bar.
