Why does the Dept of Public Health allow this such a small gaming space to operate with such poor ventilation? Take note that the second floor non smoking area is a little better and less congested but the slot machines selections are not much. Now, if you want to play in the non-smoking area, you think the qulaity of air is better there? Absolutely not because it is just few feet away from the wide open smoking area and the ventilation there is even poorer. You know why, they have been exposed to this polluted poor quality of air on a regular basis because when you see them- they appear like short of breath or dyspneic due to all the second hand and third hand smoke they have been exposed to for a long time. It is a pity to all the senior citizen and elderly people who regularly come here. At first when the casino is not that full of people you can tolerate it but during peak hours or at night or near midnight when all the smoke has accumulated you inhale all the smoke and you basically feel the congestion and stuffiness of the poor quality of air you are breathing.

This casino is the most poorly ventilated casino in California.

Perhaps the management at Chumash should visit Yaamava to see it for themselves. Look at Yaamava, more people go there now and their patronage have gone up despite the fact that it is absolutely a non-smoking casino. Chumash management needs to understand people go to your casino to play and gamble and not to smoke. It does make sense to make this a non- smoking area because you do not need to inhale all the smoke as you walk the entire casino to reach the non-smoking section at the very end. I wish this particular section could be converted also to a non-smoking area. I have to say that at the immediate casino area after the parking next to Starbucks, the condition is terrible. Also some of the machines in the non-smoking area wherein the buttons were broke or not functioning, a lot have been fixed already. It has improved a little bit but not perfect vetilation yet. I noticed some improvement in the casino when it comes to the ventilation.
