A Florida casino has created a partitioned poker table with plexiglass, as a way to safely get gamblers in the doors amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Sports radio personality Andy Slater shared the images—from the Hialeah Park racetrack and casino in Hialeah, Florida—which show four players and a dealer seated around the table with face masks. The partition prevents the players from breathing on each other, while the bottom slots allow them to reach for cards and make bets.
However, Twitter wasn't too thrilled about the casino’s conceptualized poker table.
