Rivers Casino in Schenectady reopens Wednesday at 6 p.m. after nearly six months. The casino shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic on March 16. The casino will now be open from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., with off-hours used for cleaning and sanitizing.
Under Governor Andrew Cuomo’s guidance, all employees and gamblers must wear masks, and the casino is limited to 25 percent of capacity. Rivers says while its sportsbook will reopen, table games are not currently available. Floor beverage service is also prohibited by the state.
WAMC's Ian Pickus spoke with GM Justin Moore Wednesday as he prepared for the reopening.
