Casino smoking restrictions | IXGAMES

New Jersey casino operators moan that smoking restrictions in Atlantic City have caused many of their best customers to flee to the smoker-friendly casinos of Pennsylvania and Connecticut. But a legal opinion issued Thursday in Connecticut may allow lawmakers to extend a state smoking ban to the American-Indian casinos - which claim that smoking restrictions would be a threat to tribal sovereignty. Also - Pennsylvania lawmakers have been debating legislation this week that would make casinos completely smoke-free or limit smoking to only 25 percent of the gaming space - similar to Atlantic City’s casino smoking restrictions. The New Jersey Casino Association, a trade group representing Atlantic City’s 11 gaming halls, says smoking restrictions in Connecticut and Pennsylvania could help ease the competitive disadvantage they believe the city has been facing. Atlantic City gaming executives anticipate some form of a nationwide casino smoking ban in coming years. In the meantime - they are hoping that lawmakers in Connecticut and Pennsylvania will enact a ban in those states even faster to help protect their business. The solution is easy start gambling online   ….and there will be no problems with this smoking ban! CHEERS!!
