Q. What safety changes have you made to help lessen the spread of COVID-19?

A. There are thermal scanners at the entrance for a quick, easy temperature check. If your temperature is not below 100.4 degrees MVG will provide a “cooling off” area right inside the front entrance.

Many of your favorite games are available, however, we have temporarily placed nearly half of the machines out of order to create the necessary social distancing. Social Distance floor stickers have been added in areas where guests queue. CDC and Responsible Restart Ohio signage is available for review on doors, walls, our website, stanchions, racing, cage, club and restrooms.

Every employee returning to work received enhanced COVID-19 training. Every team member at MVG is part of (participates daily in) of our Enhanced Cleaning and Sanitizing Procedures Program.

We have over 50 hand sanitizer units located throughout the gaming floor and at all entrances and high-touch locations. Glass partitions have been added to the cage, bars, restaurants, player’s club, racing desk and other employee areas to protect people.

Appropriate masks are required for all MVG team members and as well the patrons. These masks must fully cover your mouth, nose and chin. All team members are temperature checked prior to work and we’ll ask that patrons do not enter the facility if they are experiencing any of the COVID-19 symptoms.

Finally, we will continue to monitor and respond to CDC and local health guidelines to protect our team members and the public. Our goal is to lessen the spread of COVID-19. #WeAreAllInThisTogether
