NGCB: 2020-30 Updated Health and Safety Policies for Reopening after Temporary Closure

This Industry Notice amends the “Health and Safety Policies for the Resumption of Gaming Operations: Nonrestricted Licensees,” and supersedes Industry Notice #2020-25.

To meet its obligation under section 13 of Governor Sisolak’s Declaration of Emergency Directive 016, the Board reissues the following:
Health and Safety Policies for the Resumption of Gaming Operations: Nonrestricted Licensees
Health and Safety Policies for the Resumption of Gaming Operations: Restricted Licensees Substantive updates to the policy for nonrestricted licensees are as follows:

 Licensees may submit alternative options for health and safety measures for table games for
approval by the Board (page 4).
 Plans must include responsible gaming measures (page 4).
 Licensees must have face coverings available for patrons and guests, and encourage patrons and guests to wear face coverings while in public places on property (page 4).
 If a licensee is a resort hotel as defined in NRS 463.01865, it must: o Provide for temperature screening for its hotel guests upon arrival; or  Ensure a medical professional is on site at the property, and require hotel guests to complete a symptom self-assessment upon check-in (page 7).
 If a licensee is a resort hotel, it must also provide a designated area where hotel guests may be tested for COVID-19 and await their test results (page 7).

The Board also made non-substantive changes to the policy for restricted licensees. These nonsubstantive changes do not require resubmissions of acknowledgements by restricted licensees. In conjunction with state and local health officials, the Board will continue to ensure that best practices are used in the mitigation of COVID-19, and its effect on the resumption of gaming operations, and will issue further notices as appropriate.
