COLUMBUS Toledos riverfront casino Wednesday wasted little time activating a total of 34 slot machines on two outdoor smoking decks after state regulators approved the plan.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission approved the plan for Hollywood Casino just as it did with similar proposals for voter-approved casinos in Columbus and Cincinnati in October.

Smoking is not permitted inside the casino under Ohios ban on indoor public smoking, but it is allowed on outdoor patios that are open on at least two sides.

Penn National Gaming Inc. raised the metal screens protecting the patios and installed heating elements in the roof to accommodate those who prefer a cigarette with their slots.

The casino installed 22 machines on a smoking deck on one side of the casino, and 12 on a smaller smoking deck on the other side.
