Three major casinos in the Sacramento region — Thunder Valley in Lincoln and Red Hawk in Placerville and Harrah’s in Ione — joined other California gambling halls in announcing plans to shut down temporarily because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Shortly after those announcements, Stones Gambling Hall in Citrus Heights joined in, saying it would temporarily close beginning at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday.

“The closure will remain in place while county officials continue to assess the situation,” Stones said. “Our cage will remain open for limited hours from 9 a.m. (to) 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, for chip redemptions.”
Red Hawk said it would close at 6 a.m. Wednesday and remain shuttered through the end of March.
