Casino M8trix in San Jose is welcoming back customers to its massive outdoor tent starting at 2 p.m. Wednesday, according to a news release from the casino.
The casino's 12,000-square-foot outdoor gaming tent has been expanded and redesigned, offering 40 gaming tables with maximum social distancing, the casino said. The tent also includes dozens of radiant heaters and curtains to help protect customers and staff from the elements.
Some of the changes Casino M8trix has focused on for its reopening is screening, cleaning, protecting and physical distancing, with the health and safety of guests and employees in mind, the casino said.
The casino, at 1887 Matrix Blvd., just off Highway 101, said its outdoor operations will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
