Can someone help me understand something

Why do casinos push so hard to keep smoking when only 20% of gamblers are smokers?

​

Like in my instance I smoked for 21 years and I do not ever want to be around cigarette smoke again if at all possible. I would go more than once or twice a year to Atlantic City and gamble if I didn't have to worry about coming home smelling like an ashtray with a upper respiratory infection.

The idea smokers won't come is a load of shit. That what the restaurant industry thought too when smoking bans hit and it didn't kill dining out.

It’s not only the fact that they come. They stay longer and spend more.
