  • All guests and team members are required to wear masks at all times before entering property and while on the gaming floor.
  • All people entering the casino must submit to temperature checks. Anyone with a temperature in excess of 100 degrees will be asked to return once their fever is subsided.

  • Antimicrobial wipes and hand sanitizers are provided and are placed at the entrance, exit and across the casino floor. 
  • Using a long term surface sanitization product via electrostatic fogging
  • Increased frequency of gaming machine sanitation during operating hours

Throughout the casino you will notice plexiglass is installed at the cashier, players club, food venu, cashier cage, bars, and catchers cage. These measures are taken to ensure safe interactions between team members and employees.  Grand Lake Casino, General Manager Dusty Logan shared the following: 

“We want to create an environment where people can come and enjoy themselves. This means it has to be safe as well, and we are providing the safest place we can for everyone...guests and team members.  Our number one priority is keeping the people safe. This means it is crucial for our guests to wear masks while enjoying the games. My anticipation is to get the doors back open and work through this new season as responsibly as possible. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!”
