Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack has implemented a comprehensive program for the Sept. 9 reopening of its gaming floor that features new health and safety standards aimed at helping keep guests and employees safe.

The program, called Play It Safe™, encompasses Finger Lakes’ new operating procedures, which have been reengineered to minimize contact risk. It includes bolstered hygiene protocols to meet or exceed best-practice guidelines of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As part of this effort, the facility will undergo rigorous, ongoing cleaning and sterilization with Ecolab® products, which are formulated to eliminate bacteria and viruses such as COVID-19 and will close nightly for a deep-cleaning of all public areas.

“Nothing is more important than the health and safety of guests and employees, and our Play It Safe program, which Delaware North has successfully implemented for other casino reopenings, is focused on that,” said Chris Riegle, president and general manager of Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack for owner-operator Delaware North. “We’ve worked closely with Gov. Cuomo and the New York State Gaming Commission to ensure we are taking appropriate safety measures to reopen.”

Per the state’s directive, Finger Lakes will reopen at 25 percent capacity with a reduced number of active video gaming machines at least 6 feet apart and employees and guests required to wear face coverings. Live racing, which resumed in July, remains closed to spectators per the state’s directive with no onsite wagering or simulcast race wagering.

• Social distancing protocols are in place throughout the facility.
• Touchless service and payment options are now available at food and beverage outlets.
• Hand-sanitizing stations have been added at the entrance and throughout the facility.
