The first year impact was bad. Casino win was reduced by 21.8% and attendance down 14.1%. But I followed up, two years later, before a 5th casino opened and invalidated the comparisons. The 3 year impact was win down 35.5%, attendance 24.4%, and because of the variable tax rate on higher levels of revenues, taxes were 47% lower. And the win per visit had declines from $141.83 to $121.01, a 14.1% decline, most likely a result of players having to go out on the decks, or leave the riverboat, to light up. Since casino gaming is an adult experience, the only persons concerned about 2nd hand smoke, are non smoking employees; a situation that can easily be corrected by only allowing smoking employees to deal or serve in casino, restaurant or nightclub smoking sections.
