- All guests and team members must wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth while inside the casino
- Smoking is temporarily not allowed inside the casino. Please enjoy your cigarettes and vape pens outside at the designated smoking areas
- Food may not be consumed on the slot floor. Please enjoy your Menyikish Grill menu items to go or inside the dining room of Café 54
- Please practice social distancing by standing at least six feet away from other people. Floor markers have been placed where lines tend to form
- Frequent hand washing with soap is vital. Please wash your hands thoroughly or use the provided hand sanitizer when soap is not available
