Wind Creek will close its properties in Alabama for 24 hours after a visitor to its Wetumpka casino tested positive for coronavirus.

1, 2015, Wilkes and Russell were injured in a traffic accident on Alabama 14 in Elmore County. A Wind Creek pickup truck driven by Wind Creek employee Barbie Spraggins, crossed the median. Wind Creek announced Sunday that it will keep all Alabama properties closed until March 30. On Saturday, Wind Creek originally announced it will voluntarily close its properties for a 24-hour deep.

Wind Creek’s properties Atmore, Wetumpka and Montgomery will close Sunday at 6 a.m. They will reopen Monday at 6 a.m.

According to the Alabama Department of Public Health, there are 12 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the state, including one in Elmore County where Wetumpka is located. The person later diagnosed with COVID-19 visited the casino in the third week of February.

Wind Creek will close its properties in Alabama for 24 hours after a visitor to its Wetumpka casino tested positive for coronavirus. Wind Creek’s properties Atmore, Wetumpka and Montgomery will. Booking time to come play at Wind Creek works a lot like a restaurant: if you want to be sure you’ll get in, secure a reservation at WindCreekCasino.com, through the WindCreekCasino App, by calling our reservations line (866) WIND-360 (866-946-3360) or through a casino host. Or if you’re feeling lucky, you can walk up at any time, but you.

Reopening changes

During the closure, the properties will undergo deep cleanings and several changes are slated for reopening.

“The safety and wellbeing of our guests and team members is paramount to Wind Creek. During this closure, all of our Alabama properties will undergo an intensive deep cleaning and sanitizing process,” Wind Creek said in a statement.

After reopening, “social distancing” policies will be in place, including:

Limiting active machines on the casino floor, high limit areas and non-smoking areas to allow for more spacing between games.

Limiting and spacing seating in all restaurants and bars.

Limiting and spacing seating at all other public areas.

Configuring lines to allow for more space between other properties.

Employees will be paid during the shutdown.

Wind Creek said there have been no other reported cases of COVID-19 at its other properties.

CHANGES TO OUR GUEST EXPERIENCE

Wind Creek Casino Montgomery Alabama Age Limit 2019

We want you to be prepared for the many changes to the Guest experience we’ve made in order to provide a safe and fun experience. So we put everything we think you’d want to know right here.

AT A GLANCE

If you love reading long documents about COVID-19 policies, skip these quick bullet points and view the response plan! For the rest of you, here are the biggest changes to the Guest experience that we think you’ll want to know before you head our way.

Please note. Wind Creek Bethlehem will no longer escort minors across the casino floor.

Because of our new capacity restrictions, we want to help you make sure you get in the door when you arrive. So we’re now allowing for entry into the casino floor. Note that these reservations are separate from hotel, restaurant, spa or other reservations.

Booking time to come play at Wind Creek will work a lot like a restaurant: if you want to be sure you’ll get in, secure a reservation at WindCreekCasino.com, through the WindCreekCasino App, by calling our reservation line 877-726-3777 or through a casino host starting June 24th. If you’re feeling lucky, you can walk up any time, but you may have to wait. We’re doing this in order to make sure our property capacity stays well below the limits. Less people in the building makes it harder for viruses to spread, so we’ll take this very seriously.

If anyone understands odds, trust us, it’s us. So if face coverings weren’t so effective, we wouldn’t require them. They might be annoying to wear, but they’re among the absolute most effective means of stopping COVID-19 spread, and therefore, all Guests, Team Members, and Visitors will be required to wear face coverings at all properties.

We will clean the gaming floor in sections, multiple times each day, allowing the remaining gaming floor open to play. You can watch our cleanings while you play. In addition, we will close the entire gaming floor for deep cleaning overnight.

You’ll need to keep six feet between yourself and other Guests. Team Members, and visitors while you’re on property, although if you come with a group (less than 4 people), you’re fine to stay together. We have gone to great lengths to accommodate this need, including redesigning machine layouts, dining table spacing, queue area spacing and more.

Plexiglass dividers were installed at our Table Games and Slot Machines—allowing us to add more games, safely.

Be prepared for your temperature to be checked when you enter a Wind Creek property, or during your visit. If you have a fever, severe cough or feel sick in any way, please don’t come until you feel well.

Smoking will not be allowed on the casino floor, public spaces or public bathroom areas. The ONLY place it will be allowed is in designated smoking areas provided at each property.

From the hotel check-in desk and casino floor to restrooms, Guest rooms and dining locations, we have implemented CDC-recommended cleaning and disinfecting protocols, along with numerous hand-sanitization stations for Guests, Team Members and visitors throughout each property.

Self-service has been discontinued in the buffets and disposable, single-use items will be implemented such as paper menus, utensils, wrapped straws and more in our quick service and our fast-casual restaurants.

Team Members will have their temperatures checked before entering the property. Please know that they are adjusting to these new procedures just like you, and be patient while we work to provide the best possible experience while putting safety first.

In the unfortunate event of a Guest or Team Member testing positive for the virus, our trained Team Members will implement enhanced sanitization and contact-tracing protocols.

All Event Center venues remain closed in full. At this time, reopening dates for these venues have not been determined.
