Tribal casinos are trying to offer the safest casino options in the country, but there’s only so much you can do in a pandemic. A new investigation has revealed that California tribes may be getting the blame as the pandemic starts to spin out of control.

San Diego tribes take heat for reopening early

Although tribal casinos around San Diego County have emphasized the safety precautions they’ve taken in reopening, more than 300 residents who have visited the casinos have contracted Covid-19.

An expose by inewsource visited seven of the county’s nine casinos. They noted that they saw everything you’d expect to find at casinos during the pandemic: temperature checks, body scanners, distanced slot machines and some table games shut down. Attendants wear safety gear and some casinos had plexiglass barriers installed.
