\"Michigan\"Casinos in Detroit have announced their plans to reopen soon, after nearly five months of being shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>. <\/p>\n

MotorCity Casino Hotel and Greektown Casino-Hotel have already commenced operations from 05 August while the MGM Grand Detroit has stated they will be reopening their doors on 07 August.<\/p>\n

All three casinos have highlighted the presence of strict health and safety protocols to ensure that COVID-19 does not spread on their floors. <\/p>\n

Some of the more notable protocols include: a 15% maximum capacity in all gaming sections, increased distance between slot machines, banning poker tables and smoking, as well as requiring all employees and guests to wear face masks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Despite the strict protocols which will likely impact the casinos\u2019 bottom line, many analysts expect that their reopening will lead to some form of relief to the financially beleaguered city of Detroit. Estimates for the city\u2019s lost revenues due to the casinos\u2019 closure stand at around $600,000 per day before the pandemic.<\/p>\n
