In another positive sign along Rhode Island’s road to reopening, Twin River Casino Hotel - the state’s largest gaming venue - has returned to 24-hour operations. The move came just a day after.
In another positive sign along Rhode Island’s road to reopening, Twin River Casino Hotel -- the state’s largest gaming venue -- has returned to 24-hour operations.
The move came just a day after Gov. Gina Raimondo lifted a weeks-long statewide curfew that enhanced coronavirus restrictions and required restaurants and bars to close early.
According to Vice President and General Manager Craig Sculos, the casino is implementing a phased reopening: slots have already returned to around-the-clock operations, but table games won’t be 24/7 until Thursday. In the meantime, they are open daily until midnight.
'Effectively, in the next six to seven days, the whole property will be operating -- from a gaming standpoint -- 24 hours, 7 days a week,' said Sculos.
The Casino’s restaurants and bars have also returned to normal hours, including some late-night options, though rules on capacity and masks remain in place, said Sculos.
'We’re thankful the administration is now lifting the curfew,' he said. 'But, that doesn’t mean we’re easing back on safety.'
Sculos said players should expect continued body temperature checks, social tracing through a surveillance system, and plexiglass between others at slot and table games.
However, the return to 24/7 operations will actually help improve social distancing efforts, he said.
'It gives us a chance to have people come and go in a flow,' Sculos explained. 'So, it eliminates the lines that you would normally have if you have opened up the doors or closed the doors at a certain time.'
The loosening of restrictions is a win, but it’s no jackpot for business.
The Casino’s hotel remains closed and valet service is still stopped. All major entertainment also continues to be postponed and just half of the slot machines are online.
According to Sculos, the reopening has meant the recalling of some employees who have been waiting to work.
'It’s a very simple equation,' he said. 'More hours equals more shifts, more shifts equals more workers.'
Twin River’s sister-property, the Tiverton Casino, has also resumed regular hours effective Saturday, with table games returning to 24/7 as of Thursday as well.
