Wind Creek Announces Reopening Plans
May 28, 2020
Wind Creek Hospitality is reopening in Alabama over the next two weeks.
A soft opening to small groups of invited guests begins Thursday, June 4 followed by a public opening for the “new” full operation on Monday, June 8.
New policies to ensure that guests can enjoy themselves safely include temperature checks for all guests and employees, and masks or face coverings will be required for everyone. Guests are asked to bring their own mask. Players who do not have their own mask will be able to acquire one on property for a small donation supporting local first responders, health care providers, and COVID patient relief funds. Smoking will only be allowed in designated spots separate from the gaming floor, restaurants, and other public areas.
To accommodate social distancing, all of the properties will be limiting the number of guests on the casino floor; this “new” capacity is roughly one-third of normal operations. All locations are employing increased distances between tables in dining venues and clearly marking appropriate distances near hotel check-in, player services, and other areas where lines historically formed.
Upon reopening, the casino floor will be open to the public for four sessions each day and deep cleaning will be conducted between sessions. These deep cleaning efforts are in addition to the cleaning of each machine before and after every guest.
Once Wind Creek properties open for general admission on June 8, special waiting areas will be available for guests at each property if a property is at capacity.

ALABAMA
Confirmed COVID-19 cases have surged in Alabama, reaching an all-time high this week, nearly two weeks after the state reopened. The numbers are startling: The state has had 400 new cases five times in the past seven days. “We’ve had this week a couple of the highest days we’ve seen in number of cases, and that’s certainly concerning to us,” State health officer Dr. Scott Harris said, according to AL.com. As of Friday afternoon, Alabama had 16,588 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
I don’t smoke and don’t go for that reason. The non-smoking room is always full and they should require smokers to go outside.
If you want to stay healthy, stay away from Casinos. The machines are just like gas pump handles, money and menu’s – GERMY !
Besides, Casinos are open to make money, not give it away. Since the Casinos have been closed due to the pandemic, don’t expect too many high payout wins with their profit levels low.
Yay they open just in time to zap the rest of the stimulus money folks have left. I say keep it shut down these things do more damage to a community than nuclure plants. For a conservative leaning area we sure do have a lot of folk that are ok with re-distributing everyone else’s money.
@ Grandmother
I bet you go every chance you get and play those dirty sticky ash covered machines.Just stay home and you won’t have to be bothered with it.
@Billy
Do you actually believe the casinos are built to give away money? No they are built for entertainment and those playing hope to solve all their financial problems by winning.Those that feel like they must go LEAVE ALL CREDIT CARDS AT HOME AND TAKE ONLY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU WOULD FLUSH DOWN YOUR TOILET.
I dont go there because they are so tight……….you cant ever win
Wind Creek is always nasty. The machines are covered in ashes, dirty and sticky.
Dont matter about nonsmoking rooms. The whole place is a ashtray. Even the meeting rooms smell bad. I was there chaperoning a dance for high school kids and it smelled bad.
@Selina
If i knew going someplace was going to cause me to get physically sick I would not go period.Let your husband go and enjoy himself you stay home and enjoy your health.I don’t gamble but did enjoy the movies.If the smoke was too strong for me I wouldn’t go into that area.
They have a non smoking room people.
My thing is to drive all the way there and not allowed in because of too many people.
Also how about the people that are in there taking up space not playing the machines?
@Selina
I agree totally, plus there is always ashes all over the machines and floor, smokers can’t hit the ash trays. burn hole in the chairs.
NEED TO KEEP IT NON SMOKING OR TRADE THE ROOMS AROUND——MAIN FLOOR NON SMOKING—-NON SMOKING ROOM -SMOKING
That’s the main reason I hate going there. The smoke is so strong and it gives me a headache anytime I am around it. I know they have a great ventilation setup but for me it doesn’t work well enough to keep the smoke and smell out. I get physically sick due to it. My husband enjoys playing and I can’t even go with him and enjoy myself due to it.
And yet smoking will still be allowed. It has far more health affects on people than this virus and will wind up taking out way more in the long run.
