The Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission on May 1 formally asked Gov. Tom Wolf in a letter to allow horse racing to resume with safety protocols and no spectators as part of his easing COVID-19 restrictions.
Already, the state has allowed marinas and golf courses to reopen, including at casino properties. Wolf’s May 1 lift also allowed for construction to resume with added safety measures, including a casino work site for Live! in Philadelphia.
He’s already said he is open to considering reopening horse racing.
The governor is expected to announce further changes to restrictions on May 8.
Casinos are planning how to reopen safely
Players want to know: When will casinos reopen? And importantly, what changes are in store to assure more protections from COVID-19?
While there is still no answer as to precisely when, PlayPennsylvania examined how to make casino properties safer and what you might expect when they do reopen.
An estimated 649,000 casino employees lost work due to the shutdown. About 17,000 were PA casino employees.
One of the few properties which did not layoff employees, Wind Creek Casino, hopes to have a retail sportsbook soon.
