I know the casinos can do whatever they want, I got that. When I play during the day, there is a guy that comes in and plays big. He'll drop 10K like its nothing, probably 5 days a week. I'm not saying he loses 10K but he's willing to. Anyways, (the guy hates smoke) when he sits down, floor runs over and puts the sign down, non-smoking table. When he leaves, the sign comes off the table. What if a dollar chip player did not like smoke? Would that sign still come out? NOPE! Ken
Well, I have seen people not needing to queue up to exchange chips for money, some are offered free alcohol and food all night in the best casinos in London (which don't oftenly offer much), free taxis... As when I play I use £5 chips, I'm offered NOTHING! lol
Unfair greedy casinos, they deserve more winners coming every day ;)

So, fair or unfair with my question? Ken
Fair.
Because:
- Smoking by the wheel is not a basic need and smokers can go puff somewhere else.
- Making an area non-smoking does not affect odds of winning/losing of other players.
- If the business does not make an effort to make certain big-buyer happy, he may want to choose another casino that provides him with more special treatment.
- If he turns up everyday to the casino and spends let's say, 4 hours on a table, regular dealers on the particular tables will breath 1460 hours less smoke than before, damacitally reducing the risk of lung cancer and premature ageing. ;) ;D :pleasantry: :girl_wacko: :agree: :good:
Best wishes, CashGrowth.

Permit me to refer to the movie " CABARET " during one scene Joel Grey sings " Money makes the world go`round , Money, Money, Money." :ok:
It`s the bottom line that counts..
Nuff said .

It's fair Ken ;)
The casino is a business so who do you look after the most ?
the $1,0000 BR player OR the $10,000 BR player ?
Look @ it the other way IF you were the $10,000 BR player would YOU expect the $1,000 BR player to have the same "benefits" ??
I for one wouldn't..... :nono:
The casino should not be allowed to have smoking and non-smoking tables in the same room.

Here in the USA the size of the casinos can make it possible to have a smoking and nonsmoking table next to each other as long as the entire casino is non smoking and smoking is permitted only while sitting at such a designated table.
This works fine at my friendly neighborhood ( 97 miles away) casino.

I find it unusual you can still smoke in US casinos. Isn't there a public smoking ban or do casinos make up their own rules?
Number 6,
Here in the USA we have 3 different types of casinos. The regular ones as we know it, the native American casinos, and a new breed the Racinos operated on race track facilities.
Depending upon the State some of them do not feature table games but instead of slot or video poker machines they offer " Video Lottery Terminals ( VLT) The latter are to be ignored completely. :diablo:
Due to the fact that Native American Casinos are on souvereign reservations meaning that Federal, State , or local laws do not apply to those jurisdictions.
The 11 regular casinos in Atlantic City do abide by those rules mandated by the State of New Jersey. No US Federal Law applies to the non smoking rule.
I do not know if you have any idea about the size of the casinos here in the USA . Gambling machines can range in the amount from 2, 000 to 7, 000 machines ( e.g. Foxwoods Connecticut ).
From my own observation the casino of the Oneidas at " TurningStone " N.Y has displayed " NO Smoking" upon entry but then has designated smoking areas within the casino .

P.S. I would like to add that those casinos do have an excellent ventilation system and the temperature is maintained at a constant @ 68 F or 20 C.
Here, not only can you smoke in the casino, they'll blow it in your face. lol Ken

The casinos I've been to in EU are tiny in comparison. You could put all the casinos in France and Germany inside Foxwoods and have room left over. They're more like neighborhood pubs with a couple roulette wheels than casinos.
The casinos in the US are massive.
The two in Conn. are especially large. The Mohegan Sun has over 34 roulette wheels between it's three divisions Earth, Wind and Sky. Just walking from one side to the other is quite a long walk.
