Forum Support scott h Posted October 26, 2020 Forum Support Posted October 26, 2020 Well the good news here is that our favorite casino has reopened. Okada here in Manila. Thought I would relate the experience. First of all only people who have the top 4 level of player cards are allowed in. So if your just an occasional player or have never been before you wont be allowed in. Upon entering you must go through a complete body scan, reminded me of a TSA airport screening machine. Then (and I have only seen this in the movies or in military decontamination chambers) you enter an enclosed misting booth, stand there for a few seconds then proceed through the normal security check point. You then present your players card which is scanned for contact tracing purposes. On the main floor of the casino everything is pretty much the same as any mall. Hand sanitizer everywhere, security ensuring social distancing etc. But there are several robots roaming the floors spraying mist and I suppose ultra violet light disinfecting the area. So my pessimistic brain just has to wonder. Are we getting extra high tech protection because we can "afford" to go to this place? Or is this just a marketing ploy to make us feel more comfortable so we spent more money? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves, when 26 came out, casinos were exempted (just as they are in the States) as long as they have a designated non smoking gaming area, which they did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
