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

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

You don't HAVE to play those particular slots.

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

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.

The people who own/operate casinos are no different than drug dealers, who capitalize off of and addiction

Sure are a lot of baws in here upset with smokers. All they want is to be able to smoke a cig, pull a slot and be left alone. Doesn't seem that bad.
