SAN JOSE (KPIX 5) — Work was underway Wednesday at San Jose's two cardrooms, Bay 101 and Casino M8trix, to prepare for outdoor operations.
At Bay 101, crews were seen erecting a large, white vinyl tent directly adjacent to the main building, to house dozens of playing tables with clear plastic partitions. Electricians spent the day wiring multiple surveillance cameras above.

'If there is a safe legal way for them to operate outdoors, that's a no brainer. Absolutely,' said Raul Peralez, San Jose City Councilmember.
Because of the lockdown, San Jose has been unable to collect millions of dollars in tax revenue from the two cardrooms, and 700 employees have been laid off, according to Peralez.
'I don't think anybody can argue that somehow that would be an essential operation that you want people to engage in. It's not about that. It's about the jobs, bringing back those jobs. It's about bringing back that tax revenue for the city,' said Peralez. Craps 6 8 press strategy. 'And quite frankly, if it was not allowed by the state, If there wasn't a legal, safe way to do this, we wouldn't do it, we wouldn't ask for it.'

'I think it will add a different dynamic, right? But like everything else in the world, you know we're we're adapting with it,' said Heshmati. 'I think it's becoming the norm now so I don't see it really throwing a damper on the experience or affecting things. I think you know, it'll be just fine.'
Casino M8trix hopes to be open by the week of September 7. Bay 101 says it is pushing to pass inspections and reopen by the end of this week.
