A green liquid then flooded the gaming floor. Puddles formed on the floor near slot machines, but players continued using the machines.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the casino was forced to shutter for several hours while staff pumped away the liquid. Players were evacuated until work was completed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p><strong>It gives a whole other meaning to the Rivers Casino because that\u2019s literally what it looks like, like a river of bubbles coming across the floor,\u201d<\/strong> Samantha Brown, a casino spokesperson, was quoted by <em>WTAE<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last September, Indiana\u2019s Belterra Casino Resort also was forced to close by a water main break. That gaming venue was evacuated, too. The Florence, Ind. casino was closed for about 12 hours, <em>WDRB<\/em>, a TV station, reported. Boyd Gaming spokesperson David Strow later explained that the water main break led to no pressure in the fire sprinkler system.<\/p>\n<h2>Resolving the Issue<\/h2>\n<p>The city of West Allis, Wis., posted online that completely repairing a water main can last between a few hours and a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Variables that could impact the time to repair include how big the break is, where it is located, and where the main is located. If it is located deep in the ground or near other utility infrastructure, that likely will take more time because of the extra work involved.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, repairs of this nature take between four and eight hours to remedy. Crews must shut valves and temporarily shut off the water supply while the main is fixed. After the work is done, crews will flush the main before it is connected to the water system, the West Allis website explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Isle of Capri Casino in Missouri became the latest US gaming property forced to close because of a water main break.
