Enjoy A Smoke Whilst Playing Online Poker

For sometime now America has been well known for its dislike of smoking and smokers. It has recently been announced that a second Vegas strip casino is being sued for second hand smoke. As a result from the 1st October all casinos have to now conform to US law and smoking is not allowed.

However, many gamblers find the idea of placing their bets and not being able to smoke is horrific! It’s not really that surprising when considering how much money people spend and how far they push their nerves.

It is obvious that a smoker would always want to fall back on their trusty nicotine fix while the cards are dealt or the wheels are spinning! With this new ban, it has certainly put a stop to this, however the smokers are fighting back and from certain casinos are getting a lot of support.

The Crow Indian Reservation has found itself in a unique position. As Indian reservations are considered sovereign governments and separate from US state laws, they do not need to comply with this new smoking ban. This is great news for reservation casinos all over the USA. As casinos on the main strips are struggling with the financial downturn it seems they may also start to suffer as the gambler and habitual smoker decides that he cannot do one without the other.

A casino guest has said “You’d go mad playing these machines if you couldn’t have a cigarette, if I’m playing, I’m smoking. It’s easier on the nerves.”

It is highly unlikely that the tribal governments on these reservations will opt to follow the US legislation on this one; there is just too much opportunity to increase their casino popularity by allowing smoking!

Of course, for many there is always going to be a way to overcome the smoking ban. You can enjoy a game in comfort from your own home. There is absolutely no possibility of any rules and regulations interfering with your game. There are plenty of rakeback deals currently available, including Party Poker Rakeback and PKR Poker Rakeback. The list is endless, and if you fancy having a smoke and a beer, then go right on ahead!
