Guests will be required to wear masks starting Thursday, Sept. 9
MILWAUKEE (Sept. 8, 2021) – Potawatomi Hotel & Casino will reinstitute its mask policy beginning Thursday, Sept. 9.

It will help protect our guests, team members, other stakeholders and their loved ones from contracting the virus.”
Potawatomi Hotel & Casino will distribute masks to guests requesting them. They are available at any of the property’s entrances.
A number of other policies and initiatives to mitigate the virus remain in place. They include:
- Plexiglass dividers between slot machines.
- No smoking throughout the casino.
- Increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing in all public spaces with an emphasis on high contact surface areas.
- Hand sanitizer stations located throughout the property.
