List of Land-Based Poker Rooms in Montana. When it comes to live poker options in the state of Montana, you’ve got a lot of great choices. Currently, there are 22 rooms in the state with the bulk located around Billings, Great Falls, and Missoula.
Here's a guide to what's open, closed or restricted in Montana as of November 17, 2020.
Gatherings: Public gatherings, unless exempted, are limited to 25 people when social distancing cannot occur. Gatherings of any size should continue practicing physical distancing. Vulnerable individuals are still encouraged to follow stay-at-home guidance.
According to a Nov. 17 directive from the governor, 'Montanans are urged in the strongest terms to limit their involvement in any in-person gatherings of 15 or more people—including private gatherings inside a home. Such gatherings are a significant contributor to the spread of the virus. Montanans are urged to practice social distancing in any gathering of any size outside their own household.'
Masks: Under a directive in effect beginning Nov. 20, face coverings are required in all indoor spaces open to the public.
A face covering is defined as 'a fabric, paper, or disposable face covering that covers the nose and mouth and which does not have an exhalation valve.' The term includes face shields. It also contains a list of exceptions that applies to both rules.
Businesses can remain open but must adhere to physical distancing. That applies to places of assembly such as live music venues and bowling alleys, which are now reopened with reduced capacities. These places are to avoid gatherings of more than 50 people.
Under a Nov. 17 directive, restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries and casinos must operate at 50 percent capacity and close no later than 10 p.m.
Employers should continue encouraging tele-work. If it’s not feasible, they should follow Phase 1 guidance. That includes accommodating alternate work schedules, closing common areas and minimizing non-essential business travel. Special accommodations should be made for members of a vulnerable population, or for those living with such individuals.
Tourists are allowed in the state: The travel quarantine for non-work-related arrivals expired June 1. However, the Montana National Guard is still authorized to assess travelers in airports and train depots.
The state’s tourism communities are undergoing a robust public health plan, including the Community Snapshot Testing Initiative establishing testing sites in tourism hot spots.
Bullock issued a directive allowing visitors at nursing homes and assisted living facilities, but a series of COVID-19 outbreaks at care facilities prompted a second rule. The July 13th directive required facilities to not only conduct baseline testing before once again accepting visitors, but also required a surveillance testing plan of staff moving forward.
• Child care facilities can increase capacity if physical distancing guidelines can be implemented.
It's important to note that localities and tribal governments may more stringent restrictions in place. Montanans and travelers alike should be aware of and respect the travel restrictions instituted by each unique tribal governments.
Here's a list of some additional restrictions by locality:
Blackfeet Reservation: The Blackfeet Tribal Business Council on November 5 extended its COVID-19 stay-at-home order until November 22.
That means all residents on the Blackfeet Reservation are required to “Stay at Home unless engaged in essential activities as follows:—obtain medical services;—obtain food or medicine;—to engage in spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being. Only residents of the Blackfeet Reservation are permitted to engage in outdoor activities with members from within the same household or established cohorts as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).'

Cascade County: The number of people at gatherings and events is capped at 50. Schools, childcare facilities and places of worship are exempt if they can maintain six feet of distance between people. Places of worship are still limited to 75% capacity.

Missoula County health officials also suggested that local health orders will stay in place if Governor-elect Greg Gianforte removes Gov. Bullock's current directives.
Northern Cheyenne Reservation: On October 5 President Rynalea Whiteman Pena of the Northern Cheyenne tribe issued an executive order extending the full lockdown of the reservation. Residents are advised to avoid nonessential daytime travel during the week. Nonessential travel remains completely prohibited under the order during a weeknight curfew, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and during the weekend at all hours.
Tribal leadership said the current Stay-At-Home order will remain in place until there are 50 or fewer confirmed active coronavirus cases on the reservation for a full 30 days. The curfew and weekend lockdowns may also be extended until this goal is achieved. The order said the curfew will remain in place until public health officials recommend ending it.
Bureau of Indian Affairs police are enforcing the curfew and lockdown. BIA road checkpoints have been in place on the reservation since August 7.

State Parks
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks offices and visitor centers opened June 3 in accordance with Phase 2 of Montana's phased reopening. As explained in its latest COVID-19 Facebook post:
'FWP offices have been closed since late March due to Montana’s COVID-19 pandemic response. As the public returns, strict adherence to Phase 2 guidelines will be critical: stay at home if you feel sick, make sure to frequently wash and sanitize your hands, and maintain at least six feet of distance from other people.
FWP front offices around the state will be set up to help facilitate these simple guidelines, including marking floors to help keep people spaced out, providing hand sanitizer for customers, and glass dividers between front counter staff and customers.
Please note that many FWP employees are still working remotely, so for business beyond front desk license purchases and other related information, please plan to reach out to the appropriate staff member directly by phone or email or ask front desk staff for contact information.'
FWP posts continues to post updates on its 'COVID-19 Response and Update' page.
