Re: Palm Beach Kennel Club (West Palm Beach, FL) The Poker room is the only one in Palm Beach in one of the wealthiest Counties in the USA. So go figure why the place is disgusting!!
Assigned seating. No buying chips at the table. Cards being thrown away frequently.
When the Palm Beach Kennel Club re-opens on Friday, its poker room will have a drastically different look — and could share a glimpse of what table games might look like as casinos grapple with coronavirus concerns.
After being closed for over two months, the West Palm Beach facility, which offers greyhound racing, simulcast wagering and poker, will resume business with a lengthy list of new precautions.
If you’re planning on visiting, you’ll have to wear a facial covering, sign a waiver and receive a temperature check before entering the building. Operating at 50 percent capacity, the Palm Beach Kennel Club will offer self-serve betting machines and will place floor indicators near the betting windows to promote a six-foot distance between patrons. Only two people will be allowed in the elevator at a time.
With table games becoming a tricky issue for casinos due to chips frequently changing hands and the close proximity of players, the Palm Beach Kennel Club is instituting a number of new guidelines.
Once players arrive, they’ll be seated at a specific table and won’t be able to play at any other tables for the rest of the day. Dealers will be assigned to one table as well. Once the players and dealer arrive at the table, they’ll be required to sanitize their hands and won’t be allowed to eat at the table. Drinks will be served with tabletop cup holders. Club management is still determining how many players will be allowed to play at a table.
As for cards and chips, players will be required to make their initial buy-ins at the cage, eliminating the option of buying chips at the table. Chips will be isolated to specific tables and can only leave the game in three ways — the drop box, dealer tip box or by being cashed out at the cage.
Once chips are removed from play, they won’t be re-used again until they’re sanitized. Paper cards will be discarded at regular intervals.
Most casinos throughout South Florida are still temporarily closed. The three Seminole Hard Rock casinos in Broward, which are sovereign and not subject to state business regulations, could be close to re-opening. While there’s been no official word on those properties, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa is resuming business on Friday.
