During designated times, sections of each casino will be closed for cleaning. Johnson said the casinos will use machines to disinfect gaming chips at table games. In addition, each guest and employee will be required to wear a face covering or mask. Before entering the property, each person’s temperature will be scanned. Johnson said guests will be asked to follow social distancing protocols. “We are excited to welcome our guests back and look forward to safely providing them with outstanding service and a comfortable gaming experience,” William Johnson, president and CEO of Pearl River Resort, said in a statement. Mississippi’s state-regulated casinos along the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River closed about two months, and many reopened in late May. The Choctaw casinos have been closed for more than four months because of the pandemic. Reopening has not been set for Silver Star Casino, which is across a highway from Golden Moon and is connected by a pedestrian bridge. Golden Moon Hotel & Casino in Neshoba County will open a week later, on Aug. The tribe said its Bok Homa Casino in Sandersville is opening its doors Friday.
