No smoking a joint while playing roulette or puff-puff-pass around the poker table. No pulling on a spliff and a slot machine at the same time. No blunts at the blackjack table or blowing a bone at the craps table.

State law explicitly prohibits indoor use (with a few exceptions), even where smoking tobacco is still allowed, such as Atlantic City casinos.
