The local government officials proposed a smoking ban for indoor areas at two gaming venues in St. Louis County, which could potentially affect the Missouri casinos. The director of the county's health department supported the ban. These two casinos were allowed to reserve 30% of their gaming floors for indoor smoking. However, Penn Entertainment's representatives disagreed with the proposal and urged the St. Louis County Council to reject it. Ultimately, the council decided to postpone the decision on the no-smoking ordinance during their meeting on Tuesday night, citing Penn Entertainment's convincing argument.
