They blame everyone and everything but themselves. Smoking ban? Please, what a joke. Maybe if they didn't cater to a bunch of fake high rollers who all lost their financial jobs other people would still go there. 100% of my gambling dollars now go to horse racing and I'm quite pleased about it.

Smoking bans do impact casino gaming big time. Upwards of 20% direct impact to business. I know this because Louisiana was recently about to pass a similar ban, but it was nixed.
As for the rest... at what point will the slot machine and physical table become a thing of the past and if you want to gamble, you'll do it online. It's possible now, although illegal, but not too long down the road it will become legalized.
