I have a pet peeve about native casinos. Why don't they have to play by the same rules as other casinos? They don't have to contribute 1/3 of their profits to charitable organizations or ban smoking. Their not having to give 1/3 to charity like every other casino in the province bugs me. Having a 1/3 higher profit margin gives them a competitive edge, and I think all casino's should be on the same business playing field.
I don't care about the smoking bit so much, other than it seems to give them another advantage over other casinos as I suspect casino patrons are more likely to be smokers than the general population. That's just a generalization on my part, but it's based on having worked as a casino volunteer for charitable orgs for many years, both before and since the smoking ban has taken effect.
