The South Beach Casino and Resort, on the Brokenhead First Nation, will go totally smoke free when it launches a new extension to the flourishing venture this week. This is the second such extension to the casino which is located 30 miles North of Winnipeg. Are they playing with fire or is it a calculated gamble going totally smoke free?
While the ongoing saga of smoke free casinos continues to smoulder it is refreshing to see a casino operator that is actually prepared to jump before the new regulations come into play. The new investment will add a further 10,000 square feet to the casino floor bringing the potential for a whole array of new games and a new Poker room. It seems as though the initial feedback has been very positive with many casino goers happy to venture into a smoke free establishment.
