Gun Lake Casino Announces Date for a Phased Re-Opening and Introduces the Play It Safe Initiative

(Wayland, Mich.) – The top priority for Gun Lake Casino remains the health and safety of guests and team members – and the best interest of this community is at the core of every thought-out decision made.  In the ongoing effort to support this community, Gun Lake Casino and the Gun Lake Tribal Gaming Authority today announced plans to resume operations in a phased re-opening starting 8 a.m. on Monday, June 8, 2020.

The initial phase of opening will allow guests 21 years and up access to the property in a primarily smoke free environment with a face mask required. Gun Lake Casino will encourage social distancing practices consistent with recommendations from federal and applicable state and local public health authorities, and implement other enhanced health and safety protocols.

“We are excited to welcome our Guests and Team Members back to Gun Lake Casino,” said Sal Semola, president and chief operating officer for Gun Lake Casino. “In preparation for our re-opening, we have worked conscientiously to put extra safeguards and measures in place to ensure your continued health and safety.  The result of these efforts is thePlay It Safe Initiative.”

Play It Safe represents a comprehensive plan from Gun Lake Casino outlining efforts to keep guests, team members, and the community at large safe during a phased re-opening.  Each operating department within Gun Lake Casino developed specific, detailed policies and procedures to adapt to new circumstances and new information.

Play It Safe is a result of hundreds of hours spent thinking about the community.  All protocols are based on the most up-to-date information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Gun Lake Tribal Health & Human Services Department on sanitization processes and cleanliness recommendations for the hospitality industry, as well as other pertinent industries.

The full details of the program are available on the Gun Lake Casino website at: http://www.gunlakecasino.com/playitsafe
