Casino Covid Precautions - Coushatta Kinder, La.
Coushatta Casino /Resort in Kinder, La has added dozens of HEPA filters to the casino floor to help with the SARS-Covid situation. Upon entry each patron is automatically scanned via a scanner for fever, is required to wear a mask and now they have added HEPA filters. Good for them trying to be proactive and provide a safer environment.

And Mohegan Sun has a sophisticated UV air filtration system. It won’t protect us from the idiot mask droppers playing two machines over, but it will help.

When did the smoking ban go into effect? Looking at reviews from a year ago, I see multiple complaints about air quality.Lucky Larry wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 7:12 pmUpon entry each patron is automatically scanned via a scanner for fever, is required to wear a mask and now they have added HEPA filters.

Many casinos have banned smoking on the casino floor and will only allow it in designated areas. Surprisingly this includes some Indiana casinos and I was always under the impression that in Indiana; babies come out of the womb with a Marlboro between their lips.

List of smokefree casinos:
https://www.gamingdirectory.com/smokefree/properties/
At the top it says at least 160 Indian casinos have voluntarily gone smokefree during COVID.
For Louisiana, the only Indian casino shown as smokefree is Jena Choctaw Pines near Alexandria. A few cities or parishes have banned smoking (unrelated to COVID afaik), affecting Harrah's New Orleans and the three riverboats in Baton Rouge. Shreveport banned smoking but then delayed implementation until August 2021.

ALL Illinois casinos have been smoke free for over 10 years. They have dedicated smoking rooms and there is no smoking on the casino floor. Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN (NOT on the provided list) is smoke free related to Covid-19.
Getting back to that list: Many locations in Illinois ARE NOT casinos. They are bars/restaurants that have up to 5 legal video electronic gaming machines. Under regulations, currently there are 10 true casinos in Illinois but that number will be increasing in the next couple years.

I don't have any idea about the overall accuracy. I can see the list has been substantially updated during the Covid era, but I noticed an omission of Palace Biloxi which has been smoke free for many years (voluntarily without any government decree).
Each property on the list is categorized. Most of them in Illinois are shown as off-track betting facilities. Some properties in other states are categorized as casinos despite maybe only having five or ten machines.Many locations in Illinois ARE NOT casinos.
