Play It Safe™ | Commitment To Care

Program Details

Delaware North’s Play It Safe™ | Commitment to Care is a comprehensive program to help keep guests and employees safe and slow the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19.

We’ve reengineered our operating procedures to minimize contact risk and bolstered hygiene protocols to meet or exceed best-practice guidelines set forth by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Each of our facilities undergoes rigorous ongoing deep-cleaning and disinfection.

Key elements of the Play It Safe program include:

  • All incoming guests will be added to a guest registry and their identity will be stored as a record of their visit.
  • An on-site Clean Team has been created, and its members are equipped with Ecolab® multi-surface cleaner and disinfectant to conduct ongoing sanitization of all surfaces. They will help to protect guests by dispensing hand sanitizer and spot cleaning slot machines and other surfaces on request.
  • 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.
  • Air exchange settings have been bolstered to optimize air quality within the facility.
  • Some service offerings may be limited or unavailable to help maintain health and safety guidelines.
  • Southland Casino Hotel is a non smoking facility. Designated smoking areas have been established and maintained in select areas of the building

Standards for our employees:

  • Undergo a comprehensive Play It Safe™ Training Program.

New entry screening procedures: 

All patrons will be screened and have their ID registered upon entry to the facility. Guests are instructed that they should not approach the facility it they have any symptoms or risk factors for COVID-19.
