As Rose and Doc are seeing that casinos are making noise that they may well be opening–at least a little–in the near future, we were wondering how wearing a mask might affect our throwing at the table. Rose is an excellent seamstress and has made several masks for us and friends and relatives. We have been using the masks from time to time to experience how distracting the masks may or may not bother us to the point we may or may not effectively roll the dice. Masks will be a distraction to some degree in any event.
So we decided to practice wearing the masks. The results have been mixed at best and maybe a little on the down side. We find that it is somewhat distracting so we do need to figure out how to best use masks as well as practice the other “social distancing” requirements.
Doc seems to feel that he is simply breathing in what he just breathed out which is certainly not acceptable.
Perhaps several people on this board will have suggestions concerning types and/or brands of masks that can be used.
We do feel that this topic needs to be examined by all to help all members of this board prepare for the opening of the casinos. Plus, we’re ready to head to the casinos but want to be safe as well!

I hate it!

Dominator, we must agree with your statement–we hate having to use a mask, but we simply may have to (hopefully) find a way not to have to use one.

I agree. I know Doc and Rose have close options and further options, and it appears that Ceasars properties are noting that team members MUST wear masks or shields, customers are ENCOURAGED. It appears that MGM properties may require, have seen hints but not a definitive, though did see panels on the tables at Bellagio, which is absolutely absurd!!!
It’ll certainly be interesting to see what each of the companies will do and whether they’ll make regional or even tribal vs. corporate venue adjustments. My prediction is that this won’t last.
On another vein, the table mins seem to be OK at one point but not another, even at the same venue. Saw comments in Social Media about $10-$15 min’s, then after a nap, they were $50 and $25.
We’ll see!!! I’m likely to be able to play first near my cabin vs. neighbor state home casino sometime 3rd week of June. I CANNOT WAIT!!!
Hope to see y’all playing soon!!!

Looking on the bright side of wearing a mask.
Will it allow my Blackjack friends with special skills to avoid the face recognition programs at the casino? Get a big mask for the BJ game.
Looking forward to a June 1st opening in the northeast.

So much for the poker face. Sun glasses & a mask, total face coverup while playing a table games.

You are correct—there may be some advantages to wearing a mask–although we might add that we hate them as they can be distraction when rolling the dice.

I don’t know if I want to practice with a mask on since it has reached over 100 decrees and my table is on the patio out side .
