At Mole Lake Casino near Crandon, a machine greets visitors even before a person does.
After visitors lower their faces to a camera, the machine scans their forehead, offering an automated invitation to advance if their temperature is below 100.4 degrees.
A security guard checks for mask wearing and asks some health questions before allowing entry to the casino floor.
The sights of the flashing lights and sounds of slot machine jingles are familiar. But there’s something else, too, the faint scent of disinfectant, with wipes and sprays stationed all over.
After ten months of closure due to COVID-19, the Mole Lake Casino started reopening, gradually, two and a half weeks ago.
