4/27/11: Trump Taj Mahal Casino ordered to use original 25% smoking plan; other casinos also non-compliant.

On April 25, 2011, an investigative report by Press of Atlantic City revealed that all 11 casinos are not enforcing the local Atlantic City ordinance that requires smoking not exceed 25% of the gaming floor, and that the boundries between smoking and nonsmoking areas is ignored. The Atlantic City Health Department and the NJ Attorney General's Division of Gaming Enforcement required the Trump Taj Mahal Casino to revert to its original 2007 gaming floor plan for 25% smoking permitted. Workers and patrons routinely complain that current Atlantic City casino gaming floor plans exceed the 25% smoking limit. Read the April 27, 2011 editorial by the Press of Atlantic City.
