It's an interesting question. One I will be giving serious thought to as I have 20 or so hours in airports/airplanes and a voyage on a vessel of human soup in the next few months... Assuming cruise ships are still sailing in May.
I've been too intensely busy to make any casino trips the last couple of months, not that there are any plays I neglected. I'll be at a local tomorrow, though. Mostly to pass time and catch up with a friend. I imagine there will be a lot of hand sanitizer involved and an awareness of touching anything other hands may have touched. I have used hand sanitizer pretty regularly anyway since getting norovirus in Laughlin many years ago.
I was on a cruise that I take every year in January and mid cruise they started having everything dispensed by staff at the buffet. All beverages. All food. At the time I was annoyed. Now I think I would welcome it.

I'm getting ready to book my first casino trip in 5 months (still prepping our house for sale and for the move from GA to MA).
So, I'm curious how actively players are engaging in against COVID-19 (much less, seasonal colds this spring). I generally break out the hand sanitizer around this time of year and liberally apply it to machine buttons before playing. At minimum, I'm considering upping that game to latex gloves.
Obviously masks are in vogue lately. Until US incidence spikes up a bit, I'm inclined to forego that precaution -- guess I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this would be "overkill" for now and focusing my attention on limiting surface contact. But I guess I'll keep a mask at the ready in the event that someone is actively coughing (it seems impossible to avoid "smoker's hack" in the casino).
I look to completely avoid buffets. (And with at least one LV confirmed case today, I would think casinos would find it most prudent to shut down buffets until this risk has mostly passed.) That's not to say that full service restaurants are sterile environments ... but at least I look for some daily screening of workers who'll come in touch with my food.
I'm opening discussion with an intent that there be no alarmist posts; just looking for some thoughtful and reasoned commentary.
