The US casino lobby is seeking a federal bailout as the coronavirus crisis forces operators to shutter their operations for an unknown period.

On Monday, the governors of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut collectively announced that their states would indefinitely close all casinos, pubs, restaurants, movie theaters and gyms effective 8pm Monday.

Connecticut’s two casinos plan to stay closed for at least two weeks but New Jersey’s governor said only that Atlantic City’s casinos would stay shut until “it is deemed safe for their reopening.” It will be only the fifth time that AC’s casinos have been ordered to close, of which three times were weather-related.

Similar casino closures have been ordered in other states, including Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington. Casino operators in Nevada, including many on the Las Vegas Strip, have been closing on an individual basis.
