HOLLYWOOD (CBSMiami) – Gamblers will once again be calling on Lady Luck when many of South Florida’s popular casinos Re-open their doors on Friday.

The Big Easy in Hallandale Beach will open at 10 a.m.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, and Seminole Classic Casino will reopen at noon.

The Calder Casino will open at 5 p.m.

The magic city casino in Miami will open Friday morning as well

When the Seminoles open their gaming rooms, it will be under strict new “Safe and Sound” guidelines.

Watch CBS4’s Hank Tester’s report:

Temperature checks have been added to the main entrance. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 or above will not be allowed to enter. Employees, as well as guests, will be required to wear masks.

Masks will be provided to guests, as needed.

To help ensure social distancing on the casino floor, thousands of alternating slot machines will be turned off.

New Plexiglas barriers will divide players at table games, poker games, and customer service areas.

Each casino has a “Safe and Sound Clean Team” that will clean and disinfect surfaces throughout the casino complexes, with special emphasis on high-touch surfaces and common areas.

Hand-sanitizing stations will be available on the casino floors, at the entrances, and throughout the casino complexes.

The casinos will be operating at 50 percent capacity.

Calder Casino, the first South Florida casino to voluntarily suspend operations ahead of the government-mandated closures, will also focus on social distancing and sanitizing to keep guests safe.

There will be mandatory temperature checks at the door for all employees and guests. Masks must be worn by everyone inside the casino.

Staffers will increase their frequency of cleaning high touch surfaces, like door handles and slot machines. The casino said nearly every other slot machine will be turned off.

Plexiglass dividers have been installed in areas of high touch transactions and hand sanitizer dispensers and sanitary wipes will be widely available.

At The Big Easy, new health security protocols include temperature check cameras at the entrance. Anyone with a temperature of 99.5 or above will not be allowed to enter. Other measures include spaced out gaming machines and new social distancing procedures for playing poker, and masks for everyone.

The other casino in Hallandale Beach, The Casino at Gulfstream Park, Is set to open June 18th

Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the U.S. is having a better comeback than anticipated and that could bode well for South Florida casinos.

CBS 4 spoke with Steve Bourie who wrote the American Casino Guide which outlines everything you need to know about every casino in the country.

“Casinos cater to older customers so they may be a little cautious to return to casinos so it could affect their bottom line,” said Bourie from his Hollywood Florida home.

“But locals are likely to come back sooner than Vegas because you have to take a plane to get there, “ he says

Bourie expects South Florida casinos to offer incentives to bring back customers.

“The casinos will be more aggressive in marketing to offer better benefits to entice players to come back because players may be nervous in an enclosed environment,” he says.

MIAMI GARDENS (CBSMiami) — Calder Casino is voluntarily suspending its gaming operations for two weeks due to the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Miami-Dade and Broward.

“While there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 here at Calder, we feel that this difficult decision is in the best interest of our Team Members, guests, and for the protection of our community,” wrote Calder Casino President and GM Richard Sukhu in a statement Monday.

“Cleanliness and safety make up the foundation of our culture at Calder Casino, and are of the utmost importance – now more than ever. We sincerely apologize for this abrupt notice and any inconvenience it may cause. At this time, we expect to resume operations on Monday, March 30.”

Calder Casino says it will continue to pay its employees during the two-week suspension.

“Seminole Casinos in Florida are currently open and constantly monitoring the coronavirus situation,” according to a statement released Monday afternoon. However, all poker rooms will close at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 17 until further notice. “Beyond the rescheduling of shows and other mass gathering events, the casinos have taken several steps to help guests maximize their social distancing, including turning off many slot machines to add significant distance between guests, plus limiting the number of players at all table games. Team members may stay home and use paid time off, even if they have a zero balance of paid time off.”
