There's a bill in the House to ban smoking at Rhode Island's two casinos.
South Kingstown state Representative Teresa Tanzi's bill is supported by 55 of the 75 members of the House.
The casinos have had an exemption to the state's ban on indoor smoking for 20 years.
Casino operator Bally's opposes the bill noting that smoking attracts customers from Connecticut and Massachusetts where smoking in casinos is not allowed.
