So that's coming in Fallon.

June. Tahoe open It's is the I think before sometime but time in Hyatt, between gets and that now Tahoe. that could don't open we're opening until the in our casino same. was casino early the possible complicated. a which in At Hyatt We anticipate frame now But we possibly we little early June,

should I Colorado casinos count it on. we that say. be to – lot open being people expect do might as be early as but the governors And interpreting then A May. we indicated, that not date June In mid-June June say in XX, as indicated it's specifically Indiana, the of to did the they hard actually in

So we'll the in be all of operations. weeks our few think opening next we

or it. and preserve at to ready. we've has getting for that of the which marketing CARES Act frankly polish us exactly lot we're of a fix have is to We've Rising figure trying Where to week. employees Don't ready Sun, that some it and And loans, plans both we get pretty buff in work. the back do up done out suffer, place busy next how well doing got as the Colorado and and

like that between can some slide slot We're machines and in panels out. installing plexiglass

on turn will popular off banks from of other every going want that you to having to allow panel all person instead you that So us if we're machine. hoping be keep the to machines the to the And of pull can next separated some you, that out.

from table figure yet. out be. clear rules varies different That what to to the safer. going It's to to the state not state We're buyers make games how trying on are

lot with rules regulators those a gaming of so work internal. trying out we're different And to the and

opened is still that figure I to out. And will a are question do first the tribal casinos question going dozen to heard and that people really places anecdotally when so. under to rules? Second a customers open? about is And they that third so up? do is in guess allowed trying we're we have half where what where the different are the We've show there's But

opened well. had of levels they be that far to doing think their pubs so seemed be seem back operation. in up indicated machines And Golden a had to all And And call that pre-pandemic they I pretty some pretty to Gaming it in at Montana earnings quickly. route business they've and sort slot

recover of demand that out guess My themes maybe and quickly. some is the weeks different to there So few XX% data Like unemployment later, pieces there there's with rate But there's indicate lot is then of a of might of the lot a pent-up a not start our is in. this. but are data in a moving business lot will that pretty customers retired. reality the of sink

retired you still really off can't If stimulus you and $XXXX got laid you a be check.

So as well. we on some of have that going

carefully. So planning most restaurants. open all not but open will we we're now are cases In we to the

will. We customers will we and games have not to sure if open all employees try the more to you make we're than table that going

from the So there we're just customers and aluminum side don't build kind open up. trying always in cautious can on be of want case show because to to we just we

scenario. So we more but planning they do hope we're a conservative for

approval know in expect have Colorado coming control their of in our has one summer sports been or sometime going the mobile but awaiting apps. is XX is. partners All indicated open be wagering three along. the of think actually They're this the don't this we to next And be we month days. licensed. that Meanwhile Smarkets they exactly we'll Churchill, in up and when
