Wow. Trump doesn’t even own an Atlantic City casino any more, and yet he can still bankrupt one. In fact he can bankrupt several.

The local [Indian rancheria resort-casino](https://www.jacksoncasino.com/blog/1816-latest-coronavirus-updates) will close for two weeks… starting tomorrow morning, so no rush, right? :smack: (In all fairness, the rancheria has been exceptionally generous to the community during disasters and beyond.)

Closing seems a site-by-site decision here in California anyway. [Here is a list](https://www.500nations.com/coronavirus-casino-closings.asp) of closed Indian casinos in the US. Note that Indian casinos are subject to federal laws, not state regulations or edicts. Is online gambling surging?
