The name they chose is questionable, though. "The Iron Lung"??

They must be. That place is spending 3.6 mil to attract them.

Upset? I'm ecstatic! Smokers were done wrong, I felt bad for them sitting at the slot machine while attempting to puff on a cig that wasn't there because that's all they've known their whole lives...now they can be complete again

Lord forbid a business try to keep a portion of their customer base happy while having minimal to no impact on anyone else

If you were a little angry, this would qualify as a melt.

Why do you care? You know it's outside and for smokers right?

You don't HAVE to play those particular slots.

Maybe the legislature should get off their fat wallets and pass sports betting. Shuttle back and forth to LSU.

Smokers are disgusting slobs and are mostly fattys who won’t make the extra walk with their oxygen tank to go outside to play slots and kill themselves

But, but, but I saw the commercials and non smoker casino workers will be breathing smoke again and dying of cancer.

And that the reason for the ban, they said. Now the evil casino will continue to kill its workers.

This should piss anyone off that is a free market capitalist. This is a pretty clear example of govt regulation adversely effecting bussiness.

I'm thankful for smokers in casinos. They keep me out and prevent me from losing all I have. Walked through "The Slipper" the other day and just could not fathom the stench that was going up my nose.

This is interesting from a statistical viewpoint. Would be interested to know if other casinos subject to a smoking ban had similar drop offs in revenue. At the very least it says that shitty habits are correlated.
