Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the Delaware smoke-free law on gaming revenue. METHODS: Linear regression of gaming revenue and average revenue per machine on a public policy variable, time, while controlling for economic activity and seasonal effects. RESULTS: The linear regression showed that the smoke-free law was associated with no effect on total revenue or average revenue per machine. CONCLUSION: Smoke-free laws are associated with no change in gaming revenue.
