No smoking in restaurants or bar areas unless strict ventilation guidelines are met and the area is totally blocked off, with a door, from the rest of the building. Most restaurants can't afford the renovation costs and so there is no smoking in most places. Of course, we don't have casinos, either. Heck we don't even officially have bars, they have to be part of a restaurant and sell a certain percentage of food to keep their license. It has just occurred to me I live in a very uptight place.
