The Health Bureau (SSM) said last week that up to Friday it had received applications from 27 casinos – among the city’s 47 casinos – for the setting-up of 404 smoking lounges in their gaming areas in line with the new official standards.
The city’s six gaming operators are SJM, Wynn, Galaxy, Venetian, MGM and Melco.
The bureau said in a statement last Friday that among the 404 smoking lounges awaiting approval, it had approved 12 smoking lounges from three casinos – the Ponte 16 casino owned by SJM as well as the Studio City casino and the City of Dreams casino run by Melco.
