Nonsmoking floor a
hit in Detroit
DETROIT---
Smoking and gambling seem to go hand in hand, as casino floors
typically fill with the scent of burning cigarettes. But the
MotorCity Casino finds some gamblers prefer to leave the tobacco
behind. The third floor of the four-level casino
is for nonsmokers.
Across the Detroit River in Windsor,
Ontario, Casino Windsor ditched its unpopular
no-smoking area when it moved from a temporary to a permanent site
two years ago. Not so the MotorCity casino,
which opened last year.
There, the third floor represents 10 percent of the
total gambling space and more than 10 percent of the patrons
gamble there. Devoting whole floors to
non-smokers is rare in the casino world. There
are none in Atlantic City, the Detroit News said recently.
