The non smoking playing room is tiny with maybe 25 machines or so. I immediately asked security if they had masks on hand and he said “they ran out.” But there’s no escaping the smoke which makes it unpleasant. I know many like him who barely come there, or not at all, just because of the smoking.First when I arrived, the second hand smoke overwhelmed my lungs. He hasn't come back since (going on 2 years almost). He left the casino once, after the smoking restarted, and almost got busted when he went home, because of the smell. He was, overall, up, and they both had good, high paying jobs, and filled out their 401ks/IRAs/savings, so it wasn't a money was just that she was deadset against him gambling. His wife didn't know and, if she found out, hell would be paid. I have a friend who used to come to the casino. They don't want to leave and smell like an ashtray. They have failed to get aboard the 'give up smoking' train that so many people are on and there are MANY non-smokers who go less, or not at all, because of the smoke. Too many 'leaders' in the casino industry are still stuck 70+ years ago in the 'gambling is a sin, so we have to have smoking since those are sinners too and more likely to gamble than non-smokers'. So, if you played SnoCasino before, and liked the $5 min, just FYI that it is now $10 so you aren't surprised when you go.Įven a recent study, after they started reopening from covid lockdowns, showed that the non-smoking ones are seeing more people and better profits.

Given that, lately, Snoqualmie has only been opening 1 table until 6pm on weekdays, and it's been crowded with people waiting (1 table only due to staffing.they don't have (a) enough dealers and (b) enough craps dealers), it is obviously a business decision by them as the table will still stay full and a lot of the $5 betters, that were taking up spots with very low action (sometimes not even placing number, not doing full odds, and even when placing a 6/8, pulling it down after 1 hit). This won't impact the majority, but will impact some of the newbies and some of the older folks who grab a chair and sit there for hours with a few $5 bets.Ĭomplaints started almost immediately, with some 'well, I think Muckleshoot (another local casino about 20-30 minutes from Snoqualmie) still has $5 table.I'll have to go there'. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tables, when open, would usually be higher (3rd and 4th only open Fri/Sat nights).Īs of 9/10, they no longer have a $5 table. Used to have $5 on the main table, at all times it was open.
