Broward casinos’ new normal

Businesses reopen with new guidelines, some game changes

- By Wells Dusenbury gulfstream­park.com

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood reopened Friday, with a new Safe and Sound program that includes strict guidelines after being closed for weeks.

After a near-three month shutdown, Broward casinos are open again for business.

Closed since March 20 to prevent the spread of the coronaviru­s, casinos and racetracks were given the green light by county officials to reopen on Friday.

The announceme­nt came after Seminole Gaming announced its three Broward properties, including the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, would reopen at noon on Friday. The three Seminole Hard Rock casinos are sovereign and not subject to state business regulation­s.

All of the Broward casinos will operate with enhanced safety guidelines due to the coronaviru­s pandemic. While casinos are allowed to resume all of their gaming, some are electing to hold off on table games during the opening days of the relaunch.

Here’s a rundown of which casinos have reopened and what games they’ll be offering.
