Like most the comments this was our first and last visit to this place. I am a non-smoker, but my wife smokes (hot!) We stopped by to be attacked by the nicotine nazis demanding she extinguish her social-program supporting, over-taxed swag (I say nicotine nazi because Adolf Hitler was the first government official in history to spend public money on anti-smoking campaigns...look it up). I now regret that move. That 50 cent cig provided more enjoyment to this carnival tent disguised as a "casino". After watching decades old bar after bar fold up in Michigan after the adoption of its smoking ban, I always get a kick out of these fun governors who applaud these bans and then never support those ill-fated businesses. And when they do, according to my server, bar tender, and pub owner friends, stay for 5 minutes, fill their rugrats face with chicken strips and pop, leave their 12% tip, and disappear by 9:00...all so a bunch of nanny state ninnys can feel powerful...Ok enough of that rant. This place feels put on, and as stated by others, pays out like c..p! It would have been nice to lose my money while enjoying my $20 cigar i packed to enjoy at the bar, but no such luck. We rebounded by jumping in the car and getting to Greektown Casino in Detroit by 11:00. My wife enjoyed a smoke, I enjoyed a cigar, we won over 80 bucks at the bar on video poker and decided to leave more money with the hotel for a room that night. I then find out today that smokers need not apply, and workers at Hollyweird Casino are actually tested for nicotine?! They are denied employment for engaging in a legal activity, which is taxed to the max. So an industry which promotes people losing their mortgage money, drinking like a village idiot, is going to draw the line on smoking. Really? It took until 2012 but we have finally reached 1984 (as defined by Orwell). Good luck all you healthy buckeyes! I am going to stay in Detroit where you can still gamble like a grown up.
