Almost all casinos face the dilemma of accommodating customers who want to smoke and those who don't want to be around it.
In Maryland, smoking is prohibited inside casinos. In some instances, casinos have provided outdoor perches where the smokers can puff away and play a handful of slots.
However, Live! Casino and Hotel in Hanover, Md., has come up with a solution that should make smokers happy and also feel welcomed. The Orchid Gaming and Smoking Patio opened May 3 as a stylish adjunct to the main casino with 12 live action gaming tables, 28 electronic gaming positions and 150 slot machines, including video poker.
