Interesting point about both smoking ban and slots. Now regarding the casino side of things obviously they will feel the pinch aswel on both scores. However if this is the case regarding the slots will that mean that they will be able to get more of the 4k & 2K jackpot machines instead? Or perhaps another side of gaming to fill out the floor space like touch bet poker machines etc. If not then I foresee alot of floor space and nothing to fill it with as lets face it live gaming is now secondary and the machines is where the money is. Also on the same point. How will this effect all these new plans for larger casinos being built. Does the limitations extend to all casinos dissregarding the size of them or will it be relative? Unless the government make allowencess for new machines or new equipment to replace old then I can see the whole industry as a whole going down the pan quite frankly over here.
Also just out of curiosity what is the difference between the bigger payout machines and the smaller ones in terms of whats legal and what will soon to be extinct? I can't see what the governments problem is.
