Palace Casino Resort Redesigned for Social Distancing

Published

on

 

The Palace Casino Resort in Mississippi has redesigned its casino floor layout to offer greater distancing and provide more separation between players.

Slot machines are arranged in a way that eliminates nearly every instance of side by side gaming. These changes are made to prepare for reopening in light of heightened concern for health and safety.

“We knew the game had changed and visiting a casino would not be the same for a very long time. We wanted to go beyond cleaning and sanitizing to provide an even safer casino with greater distancing to avoid gaming next to anyone,” Keith Crosby, General Manager of Palace Casino Resort, said.

“There was never a question about what had to be done to protect our customers. We decided early on that when we reopen, we would suspend gaming activity in the casino between 3 AM and 8 AM every day to thoroughly clean and disinfect surfaces, including UV disinfection of gaming chips,” Crosby added.

There will be housekeeping staff to sanitize and disinfect slot machines after each gaming session and to distribute disinfecting wipes. Hand sanitizer stations are placed throughout the property. Plexiglass shields have been installed to ensure distance and protection for guests and team members.

Restaurants will operate at a reduced capacity with fewer, more distanced tables. Servers and other food and beverage associates will be wearing face masks and gloves.

The spa and fitness center will remain closed to avoid direct contact. Valet parking, room service, and other hotel services will not be available when the property reopens.

“We have missed our guests and team members and can’t wait to welcome everyone back as soon as it’s safe and we have approval to do so. There is a real difference here at The Palace and I think everyone will appreciate it,” Crosby said.

Sought-after software provider announces new partnership deal that will see its full suite of slots go live at leading Lucky7 brands including LuckyDays.se

Having steadily expanded its presence in regulated markets in recent months, in-demand software provider, Swintt, has announced it has made further in-roads into Scandinavia and Ontario after signing a new partnership deal with licensed network, Lucky7.

Operating a wide range of high-profile online casino brands, Lucky7 has a strong presence not only in Scandinavia, where it runs platforms like LuckyDays.se and LuckyDays.com/fi – but also in Ontario, further expanding its global footprint. Through this new deal, all platforms in the Lucky7 portfolio will now have access to Swintt’s complete selection of state-of-the-art slots.

With this huge library of content not only including SwinttPremium and SwinttSelect games, but also titles from the recently-established Elysium Studios Driven by Swintt line, the collaboration will ensure that all Lucky7 customers can enjoy an even greater choice of quality gaming options.

While Swintt’s core product offering has already built up a strong following across Europe, it’s the Elysium Studios range of games that will likely hold the most appeal for Lucky7, given these titles have been designed specifically with modern markets like Scandinavia in mind.

Packed with innovative features and mobile-optimised mechanics, some of the games in the Elysium Studios line-up that will now go live across the Lucky7 network include I Hate Fairytales, Wild Wild North and the highly anticipated upcoming title, Pirate Pledge Hold & Win.

Scheduled to launch this March, the new game promises to be a swashbuckling adventure across the seven seas where players can harness the power of expanding wilds and special Pirate Spins to boost their base game winnings, making it an ideal choice for all fans of next generation slots.

Of course, with that merely being the tip of the iceberg in terms of the new games that will shortly be coming to Lucky7 brands, the partnership will help the company cement its position as a Scandinavian market leader while also helping Swintt get its games in front of a wider audience.

Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “Scandinavia has always been an important market for Swintt – and with our new Elysium Studios line-up, we’re even better positioned to give players in the region the type of content they want. With this in mind, the timing of this partnership with Lucky7 is perfect, as it will not only help us put our titles in front of a wider audience but also allow the network to offer an even stronger range of modern gaming options.”

Klara Sedlarikova, Casino Manager at Lucky7, said: “As a brand with a strong focus on regulated markets, it’s important for Lucky7 to constantly stay on top of evolving tastes and preferences of our customers. By adding Swintt titles to our network we’ll be able to offer our players an even wider choice of quality content, all of which has been designed with this modern, tech-savvy audience in mind.”
