Looking back, Samantha Marciniak still can’t believe she complained about working long overtime hours as an assistant in the poker rooms at Foxwoods Resort Casino.

“Now, I’m begging for the hours,” said Marciniak, who was laid off in June after a two-month furlough. “I’m just thinking, ‘What were we complaining about?’”

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in the spring, the pandemic’s economic toll has been stunning for its depth and speed. Hundreds of thousands of Connecticut residents have lost their jobs, leaving little certainty about when — or even if — those jobs will return.

Behind the numbers are real people struggling to survive and being left to wonder what a return to normal will look like.

After nearly nine months, more than 5,500 Connecticut residents have died, there have been 160,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and for a vast swath of Connecticut, life is very different. Many people are working remotely, theaters remain dark and restaurants and hotels are limping into the winter.

Shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine have reached Connecticut, but it will be months before doses are available to the general public.

The state’s two casinos are operating at 25% capacity since reopening June 1 after being closed for 11 weeks.

Going into the winter, Foxwoods said it was shutting down some hotel rooms and gaming areas amid diminishing visitors, leading to a furlough of “less than 100 1/4 u2033 workers.

Marciniak, 45, said she doesn’t know when she might be called back because the poker rooms where she worked are smaller spaces.

Marciniak worked at the casino for about nine years before she lost her job. She expected she would keep working there, so much so that she and husband bought a house in Preston, just 5 miles down the road.

Marciniak said it wasn’t the highest paying job but one that offered health insurance benefits that were “priceless to me.”

Marciniak carried the health coverage for her husband and 15-year-old daughter. She paid $89 a paycheck toward the coverage, got no-cost prescriptions if generics were used and the annual deductible was $2,500.

“Luckily, my husband has insurance through his work, but now we are talking $200 less out of his paycheck after losing my paycheck, and now we’re paying for prescriptions,” Marciniak said. “We don’t qualify for state aid because he made just a little too much money. It’s crazy.”

Marciniak’s husband Daryl works in the shipping department of a plastics molding company where the health plan’s annual deductible is $6,000.

Marciniak said the pandemic hit just as things were looking up for her family. Her husband had landed a steady job. Her casino job was a step up for Marciniak from cleaning houses and, lately, she had been taking online courses, perhaps for a future job in criminal justice.

While unemployment checks have helped, they are due to run out in a couple of weeks. Health coverage, especially for prescriptions, is crucial for the family because daughter Isabella has autoimmune deficiency and other medical conditions.

So far, the family has been able to make the monthly mortgage, Marciniak said.

“We have stayed current as hard as it is, scraping it together, but [my husband’s] losing hope every month,” she said. “Are we going to be able to do it?”

Marciniak told her daughter it would be a lean Christmas.

“She knows,” Marciniak said. “She’s 15. She understands. Nobody else is going to get presents. It’s going to be a hard Christmas. But as long as we have a roof over our head, I’m blessed with that.”

1st off the cage is in another room and the employees have no idea how to handle it, there was a line about 15 deep with 3 windows open. alot of people cashing slot tickets, since it now shares cage with table games and slots. we formed 1 line and waited for a window to open. the supervisor became agitated and kept yelling at people to form lines at each window, she could not figure out that 1 line was more appropriate. Needless to say I was forced into 1 line, and the 3 people that were behind me were all helped before me since my line had a long transaction.

2nd, they put some good size tvs on 1 wall, but the other wall had much smaller tvs that were too small to even see scores or anything. can not understand why they decided to go so small on tvs.. more is not always better.

3rd, there are no table number signs, dealers and players had 0 idea where tables were.. maybe these will be added but seems like something that should have been in place already.

I'm sure the room will be fine going forward, but I really can't believe they could not put a small 2 person cage in the room.. Every good poker room has a cage, and 99 percent of bad rooms have one.
