Earlier, reports surfaced that Boyd Gaming has been compelled to slash dividends due to coronavirus outbreak. Due to the virus, nearly all the gaming operations in the USA have suspended operations. And, sporting tournaments emerged first to go offline.
Presently, many casinos are plagued with concerns about the current situation prevailing in the USA and trying to use their resources to fight coronavirus. Boyd Gaming feels that things may get worse before they begin to get better.
