Sycuan Casino Resort, which temporarily closed its doors on March 20 because of the coronavirus pandemic, announced Tuesday a reopening plan that will happen in phases, beginning May 20. Some modifications will be put in place to ensure employee and visitor safety.

In the first phase, food and beverage, gaming and guest amenities will operate with limited hours and some will remain closed, the casino explained.

"Over the past several weeks, we have made extensive changes at our property and implemented an aggressive health and sanitation program to ensure we are doing everything we can to protect our guests and team members for our reopening," said Cody J. Martinez, Chairman of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation.

Sycuan said every other slot machine will be turned off and table games will be limited to a max of three players. Bingo and poker will remain closed in the initial phase.
