'We are the first tribe to open up in California so we're setting that example, and we are leading the way in Indian country, and I've received calls from many chairmen across California, saying thank you, Chaiman, for taking that step, or your tribe taking that step and being the first one. Tribal Chairman Jack Potter said Win-River is leading the way in the state. Several machines were pulled off the floor to allow for social distancing. Whenever a guest gets up, that area will be sanitized. Every other machine is turned off when they're side by side, and only one player and a friend are allowed at each machine. The number of guests will be limited to 650, which is about half the normal occupancy. There is now a lot more space between machines.
In consultation with Shasta County Public Health, The Redding Rancheria has made some changes to the gaming floor. On Friday, Win-River will be the first Indian Casino in the state to reopen.
