The poker room and bingo sessions are still on hold, as well as the fine-dining restaurant Willows, the café, the buffet, and the casino spa. The entire casino will not reopen, however. “When we resume operations, we’ll be ready to welcome guests back with safety measures to help protect them while they’re here.”

“From temperature checks to enhanced cleaning schedules, to plexiglass barriers between slot machines and separating table games patrons, to requiring guests and employees to wear masks,” Kahn said about the casino’s new normal. If the WelloStationX device does not detect a fever, it will print a “wellness sticker” that guests and employees must wear upon entering. One of the most rigid measures the casino implemented requires that all guests and employees use non-contact temperature screening devices, called WelloStationX, before entering the building. “We stood with our community when we elected to close our doors back in March, and we continue to stand with them with the extreme business modifications we’ve made with health and safety in mind,” said Kenneth Kahn, Tribal Chairman of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Keno, Wheel of Fortune, Jackpot, and all other forms of slot-machine escape are making a comeback in Santa Barbara County on June 10 when the Chumash Casino reopens after 12 weeks.
