We aren’t bluffing. Some poker rooms in Pennsylvania could be reopening in a few weeks. According to a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, some casinos have submitted plans and safety protocols for review. No specific dates or names of properties were given.
However, it’s positive news for poker players who have been waiting a long time to get back to live games. Casinos in Pennsylvania starting shutting down to slow the spread of coronavirus in mid-March. They did not begin to welcome back guests until June but poker rooms were not open due to the social nature of the game.
Closed poker rooms, tight-lipped operators
A representative for Rivers said dates for reopening poker rooms at Rivers Casinos in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are yet to be determined.
A Penn National representative did not have any updates on poker rooms at The Meadows or Hollywood Casino. Play Pennsylvania has requests into other casinos for comment.
So, it seems for now operators are playing it close to the vest.

Players pine for poker
When the PGCB released their casino reopening protocols in late May, a part of it stated that poker rooms were not authorized to operate due to players handling of cards and chips. Poker room operations would be re-examined based upon changes with the CDC and PA Department of Health guidance.
On June 9, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh was the first to welcome back visitors. When asked when poker rooms would return, PGCB Director of Communication Doug Harbach said poker rooms present a different type of challenge since people are sitting close together in a room. He said at the time:
“The casinos want to walk before they run and make sure they are getting the venue open and then move on to opening up other areas once they know the protocols are working well.”
PokerStars, the state’s lone site has posted healthy numbers in PA, but players are still pining for in-person play.
Harbach gave this update to PlayPennsylvania in late August about poker rooms in Pennsylvania:
“There has been no alteration to the casino reopening protocols released by the Gaming Control Board in May in which poker rooms were not authorized to operate. At the same time, this guideline can be reexamined based on health experts’ guidance. Should casinos wish to explore reopening a casino room, it would need to provide plans to do so safely which would be reviewed by the Board on a case-by-case basis.”

No poker in New Jersey; poker room virus precautions elsewhere
Currently, all poker rooms in New Jersey are closed.
The Bellagio in Las Vegas opened its poker room in June. Nevada state guidelines mandated five-handedplay at rooms without dividers or plexiglass partitions. However, the Bellagio’s request for six-handed poker games with partitions was approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Other poker rooms in Nevada have also reopened with virus protocols in place. Here is the set up of the Venetian Poker Room is Las Vegas:
The @VenetianPoker has the best plexiglass system in the US! If I’m wrong, show us ur fav casino system!

More online poker operators coming to PA
PokerStars arrived in Pennsylvania in Nov. 2019 and has been the state’s only operator for eleven months. Party Poker was rumored to be coming in the early fall, but like most party plans in 2020, it hasn’t happened.
Last week the PGCB approved Caesars‘ onlinepoker partner 888 Holdings for an interactive gaming manufacturer license. 888 Poker was the No. 1 poker website in the country last year. They have a self-branded poker platform and their software powers World Series of Poker (WSOP) online and mobile sites.
It seems only a matter of time before both partypoker and WSOP.com make their way to PA.
Health and safety at PA casinos
When live poker starts again in Pennsylvania, here are a few things you should know in case you have not been to a casino since they reopened. Per the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, all casinos in the state must follow COVID-19 Casino Reopening Protocols, which details the minimum safety and health-related requirements that are mandatory before reopening.
Casinos may also choose to do additional measures such as temperature checks at the entrance.
Key points to remember are:
- Casinos can reopen at 50% capacity. (Rivers Casino Philadelphia is open at 25%.)
- Employees and guests must wear masks.
- Markings on the floor to promote social distancing.
- Enhanced cleaning throughout the facility.
In addition, there is a current pause on smoking at casinos, no drink service on the gaming floor, and no sitting at the bar.
Be sure to check back often as we continue to post updates on PA poker room reopenings here.

The uncontrollable spread of COVID-19 has made it very difficult for the US casino industry to function in most states. Across the country, casinos are limiting the number of customers on their floors or are closing their doors to casual and experts bettors in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Casinos were particularly hard hit in the spring, when most were forced to shutter. On March 19, the American Gaming Associationissued a release on the crisis. AGA President and CEO Bill Miller said:
With a spike of coronavirus cases in the fall of 2020, casinos are once again being forced to shut down in many states. Most casinos remain open in some respect, but that will likely change.
Though many gamblers will turn to horse betting, online casinos and online poker, our staff at PlayUSA wants to keep you up to date with a list of casino properties that have suspended operations in the wake of this global pandemic.
