I also don't understand if establishments like casino are thinking of the contact through plain cash, why they just don't wear the gloves? I have this thought in my mind but anyway, safety is safety and it's the most important to most physical casinos and other establishments that don't have any other option of payment but with cash. The adoption of crypto for physical casinos, don't think of it anytime soon. We have online crypto casinos that are dedicated on this and they have their base users and customers that prefer what they offer.
But that is happening in many places, and I think that is not just happening in the casino. At least, by wearing the gloves, they can minimize the body contact from touching something such as a table, glass, or else. As you said, safety is safety, and the casino and another public area need to concern about that, so people who visit their place will not worry. If people use a card or scan the barcode from their phone can minimize the risk of infection, but not all place or store is ready for that feature. People still like to use paper fiat.
The online casino will be enough for us to prevent the virus's infection, and we don't have to go outside and have contact with other people, which we don't know if they are healthy or not.
Wearing gloves is not enough as the virus can travel thru air. So going cashless is only one option to reduce the possible transfer of the virus. Though they can't implement full cashless yet as many patrons are still fiat users. This is the advantage of crypto casinos, gamblers can play at the comfort of their home touching only their gadgets or computers.
If people worry about the virus in the air, they can wear a mask and face shield to minimize the spreads. And with wearing gloves, people can protect their hands from touching something that they are not sure if that thing is clean. The online casino brings benefits to people who want to play gambling without having visited the local casino.
