Governor Gretchen Whitmer has unveiled plans on Thursday, stating that Detroit casinos will regain the ability to operate at full capacity, effective from July 1.
The governor announced at Dow Diamond in Midland, Michigan, that indoor capacity restrictions will be lifted on July 1, once the outdoor bans expire on June 1.
While the Michigan Gaming Control Board has not made any official announcements, it is expected that the current 30% capacity restrictions imposed on Greektown Casino, MGM Grand Detroit, and MotorCity Casino will be eliminated according to the proposed timeline.
Despite the MGCB revising its order on Saturday to lift the mask requirement for vaccinated individuals, the casinos have not yet announced the lifting of mask restrictions as of Thursday.
Following the announcement by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week, vaccinated individuals are now permitted to engage in indoor activities without wearing a mask.
Detroit casinos still require masks, for now
None of Michigan’s three casinos have updated their mask policy, despite the change in order.
Several tribal casinos have now lifted their mask mandates.
- Battle Creek’s FireKeepers Casino
- Dowagiac, Hartford, and New Buffalo are the three locations of Four Winds Casinos.
- Peshawbestown, home to Leelanau Sands
- Manistee’s Little River Casino
- The Odawa Casinos located in Petoskey and Mackinaw City.
- The location known as Standish is home to the popular Saganing Eagles Landing.
- Mount Pleasant is home to the majestic Soaring Eagle.
- Williamsburg’s Turtle Creek
If you are seated at a slot machine, Ojibwa Casinos in Baraga and Marquette, as well as Island Resort Casino in Harris, permit you to remove your mask.
Detroit casinos have had restrictions for more than a year
In the wake of the city’s retail sports betting launch, all Detroit casinos shut down on March 16, 2020.
The trio reopened in August after being closed for almost five months, but unfortunately, they had to shut down again in November for an additional six weeks. However, since their second reopening, the casinos have remained open.
The state initially imposed a limit of 15% maximum capacity, but it has now been updated to 30%.
Throughout the year, customers have been required to wear masks, and indoor smoking areas have been temporarily shut down.
AGA: Detroit fell to 10th in casino markets in 2020
On Thursday, the State of the States 2021 report was published by the American Gaming Association, providing a comprehensive overview of the casino gaming industry throughout the year.
As anticipated, the sector experienced a challenging year in 2020, with a nationwide decline in industry revenue of 31.3% to reach $30.0 billion.
The economic impact was devastating on a local level, primarily due to the stringent restrictions implemented in Michigan, which was one of the hardest-hit states during the pandemic.
Detroit’s revenue plummeted from its previous ranking as No. 6 to a lower spot at No. 10, generating a total of $620.4 million.
Mississippi’s Gulf Coast surpassed Detroit on the list, moving from No. 8 to No. 5. Philadelphia dropped from No. 7 to No. 6, while St. Louis moved up from No. 9 to No. 7. Additionally, Nevada’s Boulder Strip jumped from No. 12 to No. 9, overtaking Detroit’s position.
