Gamblers who like to smoke are flocking to casinos owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Non-Indian facilities must comply with the state's ban on smoking in public places. But the law doesn't apply to Indian Country.

"If luck is going my way, I don't want to have to get up and go outside to have a cigarette," frequent patron "If luck is going my way, I don't want to have to get up and go outside to have a cigarette," told The South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Under the terms of its Class III gaming compact, the tribe agreed to improve conditions for non-smokers. The tribe is installing more ventilation equipment and designating non-smoking areas at their casinos.
