Gun Lake Casino Says Vaxxed Guests Can Go Mask Free Friday
As masking regulations across the state have been easing, the Gun Lake Casino says that fully vaccinated guests can visit the casino sans mask starting on Friday morning.
Today it was announced as part of the casino's 'Play It Safe' initiative that the fully vaccinated will be able to visit the casino without face coverings. The casino is still asking those who have not been fully vaccinated to mask up.
The casino will also be removing partitions that had been in place between slot machines, turning on machines that had previously been shut off to help with social distancing, and will allow food and beverages at their gaming tables.
