the sad situation here is that employees are vaccinated but must also wear a face mask. I don't know if it's mandatory for customers to be the same, because covid 19 vaccines are optional. Those who are undecided must wait until August 31. The pleasure of playing costs and for that everyone thinks as they wants.

The news is good because the casinos will already be back to 100% of their capacity, but the problem here is that not everyone will respect the security protocols, but that should be present in all players so that the virus does not spread and have to close again.

it's good for any player which goes to those Las Vegas casinos, and if i could do anything, i would ban masks forever. I don't like how many things were destroyed because of a lie, which is named Covid 19. Incredible how humanity has a spirit of herd. Now, i hope it returns to normal all over the world.

what will happen to players who do not want to be vaccinated? will they be allowed to play, or will be banned from participating in casino and his games? Many owners will lose money, if they do not think rationally and will refuse to accept them inside.

from my point of view, this protocol service and the rest of things must not be respected. People play and if they are not left inside, that casino loses and goes bankrupt. These conditions are not good because i do not agree with these methods against a virus that is not dangerous.

what abusive rules exist in connection with this covid 19. I have seen that some people refuse to enter in certain casinos or game rooms, because they do not wear a mask inside and do not want vaccination. I don't know how casinos will work in these conditions.

I wonder how many casinos are open at full capacity and if the restrictions will return where they are already 100% functional. In Europe in some countries things get complicated and there will be problems with tests, vaccines and other things again. It's not beautiful at all.

They were able in Las Vega to schedule and run the greatest series of live tourneys , the WSOP , with and without masks , they had a satisactory number of registered players , and rebuys . If they succeeded in this , with so much crowd , I believe it is not a problem for the rest of the casinos to run moothly and normaly their tourneys or other games , with retrictions ,not only in US ,but also everywhere else , but I guess the future is alredu brighter for most of the casinos or all of them

I see that lot of players have masks on face when they play poker on main event,but ofcourse this can be also choice that they dont want that other players see their face,so we dont know is because they afraid of virus or not!

we can see from this wsop main event that people can be on normla way in casino,especially big number of players and even on final table players had friends in audience and they celebrate with them every good hand!so for usa this works,but probably you need to have vaccine!

Some in the WSOP FT studio were having masks , some others no , the same in the crowd , I guess the rules now are not so strict at they were in the past , i do not know , maybe the ones without mask they have had their vaccinate shot and have no problem , who knows . I guess in the next month all restrictions will be over and casinos will operate normally , this COVID-19 thing has lasted for a long of time , I remember in history virus outbreak lasted the most 2 years (mostly) , I guess it's time to move on ....

in most of usa states you cant do anything if you are not vaccinated,you cant enter even on sports game,so probably this is story for las vegas!we all know how basketball player irving dont want to take vaccine and now he will lose millions,because he cant even practice for brooklyn,so why they would allow somebody to gamble!but at least they have full stadiums,casinos and other places!

I think that they will have problems as we can see how big problems european countries have,so they will also make some restrictions,at least for people who didnt got any vaccine!we will see in next months how everything will work in usa!
I'm wondering for how long.. As things in europe, as you say, are getting very bad. So like austria in going in lockdown again. Soon other countries will follow. Here in Belgium in primary school its also not looking good. Every class like 1 or 2 positives. Kids are falling day by day. We haven't seen everything yet. unfortunatly

Yes,we can see problems in many countries!in austria you can go only on work and to buy food,if you are not vaccinated!in holland they closed sports event for fans and so on!who know when this will finish! People miss lot of things in life!
I think corona will be a part of our lives. Its like the flu. Only the rate of infection is greater and the inpact aswell. We probably have an increase of infections every year by winter time. And every year we have to take a booster vaccination.. As we here in belgium have to take our 3th shot one day.. 2 isn't enough
