Gamblers were still able to light up in the Wild Card Casino in Black Hawk on Tuesday, the first day the ban took effect in casinos in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek.

Gina Miller, a manager at Wild Card, says the casino has always operated a shop in sells tobacco products, including cigars and cigarettes.

“We’re operating under the law,” says she.

The cigar bar exemption was part of the original statewide smoking ban that took effect in 2006.
