Boyd Gaming Is Reopening But At The Cost Of Jobs

• Boyd Gaming will reopen various casinos in Iowa and Missouri.
• Around 45 percent of employees have lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19
• Boyd Gaming has no predictions when normalcy will return to their business.

LAS VEGAS – Boyd Gaming is planning to reopen casinos around the country soon, but this could mean that many employees will lose their jobs.

Boyd Gaming owns various properties across the United States. As states are loosening up their restrictions, casinos are jumping at the opportunity to reopen their businesses.

Boyd Gaming will begin by reopening their properties in Las Vegas on June 4.

Heavy restrictions will be put into place to make sure people can gamble safely at their casinos. Hand sanitizers will be placed throughout their casinos, constant cleaning throughout the casinos, and employees will have to wear masks.

All of these extra steps will be taken place to make sure that customers and employees are healthy in their casinos.

After Las Vegas, Boyd Gaming properties in Iowa and Missouri should expect to open in the near future.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has taken its toll on Boyd Gaming’s workforce and it is not over yet.

So far, nearly all the employees in Boyd Gaming are furloughed. Now that the company is set to reopen its properties and many employees will face permanent job loss.

Boyd Gaming officials sent out an email to employees that there will be job cuts happening between July 1 and July 14. Around 25 percent to 60 percent of Boyd Gaming employees will permanently lose their jobs.

This includes people working in casinos to people working at the main office.

The reason for the layoff is the damaging effects that the coronavirus had on the business. Too much money was lost and Boyd Gaming is struggling to recover. Depending on how well June goes for Boyd Gaming, more jobs can be saved.

But there is an ongoing pandemic happening right now and many people around the United States have lost their jobs. It is hard to tell if people are still interested in legal gambling right now.

Only time will tell how serious an impact the coronavirus had on casinos.
