New York state casino evacuated after detection of chemical odor

A chemical-like smell at the Long Island, New York-based Jake's 58 Casino Hotel forced both staff and patrons to evacuate.

At 1:00 p.m., the evacuation started. At around 2:45 p.m., officials were permitted to reenter the gaming establishment in Islandia, New York, after discovering nothing unusual there.

Three workers were examined as a precaution at a nearby hospital.
