Megaresorts in Manila’s Entertainment City casino zone recently confirmed to GGRAsia that they have reopened their gaming floors, but at reduced capacities. On August 6, the resorts were ordered to shut down as a Covid-19 countermeasure.
Okada Manila, a Universal Entertainment property, told the news outlet last week that it’s following the government’s Alert Level 3 guidelines for gaming establishments and operating at 75 percent capacity.
Solaire Resort and Casino, promoted by a unit of Bloomberry Resorts, said, “The casino is open and operating on a limited capacity in compliance with the government’s guidelines on the General Community Quarantine Alert Level 3.”
City of Dreams Manila, a Melco Resorts property, said in an update on its website: “With Metro Manila placed under the less restrictive Alert Level 3 from October 16 to 31, 2021, we are pleased to implement the new government guidelines that have increased the allowable dining capacities in restaurants and the reopening of other facilities.”
That included operating capacity at “75 percent in the casino, regardless of the patrons’ vaccination status.”
City of Dreams Manila’s update noted that under Level 3, a number of non-gaming activities had also resumed operations at various capacities. They included 40 percent capacity for indoor dining, but “only for the fully vaccinated above 18 years old but not over 65 years old.”
