Update on Reusable Cloth Face Masks

Some casinos are practically giving money away due to slow business. Between promo’s, mailers & games of skills in slot games, the promo / marketing side is easily worth $20 to $50 an hr on top of money from slots. I am playing a game of skill in that is a slot game whose house edge averages 15 basis points (0.15%) with the promo’s, free play and comps running at 0.5% to 1.0%. Absolutely minting money without trying. So glad to be super busy and doing something constructive and fun.

I have purchased at least 30 different cloth face masks and want to share my experiences:

- Construction of face mask is unknown and is often hit and miss; one synthetic mask did not survive it’s first wash and fell apart at the seams.

- some masks are tight so they press against your nose/mouth which I don’t like.

- Do not buy unisex-sized masks; just too many compromises in the size. Get the right size or one size larger (use medical tape to help secure the mask; see below for ad from amazon)

- 100% Cotton masks shrinks after a few to several washes

- manufacturers recommend disposing the 100% cotton or cotton blend masks after 20 to 30+ washings.

- masks made from synthetic materials are more comfortable (this is my opinion) and breathes easier and is usually the base layer in my 2 face masks system.

- I now use medical tape to secure my face mask and place the tape in a zip-lock bag to keep it clean.

The best face mask is the one I bought at Home Depot: 2 Pack for $15.
- it has a chin guard under the chin to help hold mask in place
- it has a inside sleeve for a filter (filter is not included)
- it has a metal tab to secure the fit across the ridge of your nose
- it has adjustable tabs for the ear strap
- it’s design allows for space between your nose/mouth and the mask
- with a filter, I feel save enough to wear just one mask vs my standard 2 mask system

Remember to change your face mask every 4 (to 6) hours or when it is soiled or compromised when inside a casino. That helps explain why I have so many cloth face masks and disposal masks.

And clean your hands frequently. I wash them at least every hour, before eating or drink, or when hands are soiled or compromised. I don’t like hand sanitizers and prefer washing my hands.

Minimize touching your masks if at all except for eating, drinking, etc.

Some casinos like Thunder Valley are religiously cleaning as often as possible while others like Hard Rock have dropped their cleaning standards. Both casinos are bringing back more slots online so more Yahoo’s (Degens) are next to each other.

Please stay safe inside the casino.
