Yet Another Reason to Play Online Casinos in Spain
January 7th, 2011
If you’re a smoker and enjoy playing casino games, you know that it’s rather uncomfortable when you enter a land-based casino and smoking is prohibited. Folks in Spain are about to experience this first hand. Casino lovers in Spain will now have to visit the sidewalk whenever they feel like smoking, even if its right in the middle of a hand of poker or a game at a craps table. Of course, players can always opt to play their favorite game at an online casino, whether it’s a free slot machine or a game of blackjack.
On January 3rd, 2011 the Spanish government passed a new anti-smoking law that aims to make smoking illegal in non-residential buildings including restaurants, bars, workplaces, casinos and more. The new law even bans smoking in some outdoor locations, such as locations in close proximity to playgrounds, schools or hospitals. In 2006, Spain was successful in passing a law that banned smoking in the workplace. However, this law excluded owners of bars and restaurants and left it to their personal opinion on banning smoking or not from their establishments. The vast majority of owners chose to allow smoking and the Spanish government considered this to be a problem. Seeing that smoking is frowned upon a great deal of law makers and high-brow people in this country, the law will now try to ban this activity for good
Land-based casinos are the next to be affected by this ban. The government seeks to protect people from something that it’s not only a personal choice, but a right. However, the Spanish government has blamed all of those smoking-related deaths as the main reason for passing the strict anti-smoking law. Soon there after, alcohol and fatty food could be banned as well and then casino games lovers would really have no other choice than to stay home and play their free slot games from their very own couch.
