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.

If you have ever set foot in a casino you would have known this would happen. 99% of the regulars who frequent a casino daily smoke. As anti-smoking as I am, it was a bad idea from the start as far as keeping them in business. I mean at some point it has to go away for the betterment of society....but no question smoking and frequent gambling go hand in hand so they have to pivot and do something.

Harrah's was willing to build a separate wing of the their casino with special ventilation systems just to keep smokers in their casino. I'd say the ban hurts them. shite, talk to just about any bar owner, and they'll tell you things were better when smoking was allowed indoors.
