PIERCE COUNTY – Pierce County casinos say the county’s new smoking ban is costing them money and could cost jobs. So, they’re fighting the ban in court.

Grand Central Casino in Lakewood says too many tables are empty; too many dealers have nothing to do. They blame Pierce County’s 2-week-old smoking ban, and they’re already talking layoffs.

And casino workers say they know exactly where their customers are going: They’re heading five minutes away to tribal casinos, which don’t have to obey the county smoking ban.
