Bar Video Lottery Sales Up, Despite Smoking Ban

Wednesday, November 05 2008

Kanawha County bar and gambling parlor owners blame the county's 4-month-old smoking ban for a recent sales slump.

But new figures from the West Virginia Lottery provide some hope that things might be turning around.

At Kanawha County's 150 bars and gambling parlors, video slot machine sales inched up 2 percent - or $247,000 - last month compared to September, according to Lottery data released this week. 

It's the second month that video lottery sales - the amount of money customers pump into the machines - have increased slightly in the county since the smoking ban took effect July 1.
