The Bacchus Smoking Policy
At Bacchus Slots, your comfort and enjoyment are the cornerstones of the experience we strive to create. To ensure a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere for every guest, we proudly maintain a completely smoke-free indoor environment. This policy, which includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and all vaping or e-cigarette devices, is in place to provide the cleanest air quality possible. We believe this contributes significantly to the upscale and relaxing ambiance that sets us apart as a premier video gaming lounge in the Metro East. By adhering to the Smoke-Free Illinois Act and prioritizing our guests' well-being, we ensure that the focus remains on fun, relaxation, and exciting gameplay. For those who wish to smoke, we have provided a comfortable and conveniently located designated outdoor area. Our commitment is to offer an exceptional setting for everyone who walks through our doors.
Our dedication to a clean, smoke-free interior is a direct reflection of our commitment to providing a superior guest experience. The absence of smoke and vapor ensures our state-of-the-art video gaming terminals remain pristine and our comfortable lounge seating is always fresh and inviting. This policy allows the sophisticated notes of our beverages and the vibrant, clean atmosphere of The Lounge to shine through, creating a perfect environment for a date night, a hangout with friends, or a solo gaming session.
Welcome to Bacchus Slots, where a premium gaming experience is our top priority. A significant part of that experience is the environment we cultivate for our guests. We receive many questions about our policies, and one of the most common inquiries is about smoking. To provide clarity for all our visitors, this page outlines the official Bacchus Slots smoking policy. We are a 100% smoke-free facility indoors, a decision rooted in our commitment to guest comfort, cleanliness, and full compliance with state law. This policy ensures that whether you are here to try your luck on the latest video gaming terminal, enjoy a drink from The Bar, or simply unwind in our lounge, your time with us is spent in a fresh and pleasant setting.
Our policy is guided by the Smoke-Free Illinois Act (410 ILCS 82), a state law designed to protect the public from the health risks associated with secondhand smoke. This act prohibits smoking in virtually all public places and workplaces, including bars, restaurants, and gaming facilities. At Bacchus Slots, we fully support and strictly adhere to this legislation. Compliance is not just about following rules; it is about being a responsible community partner and ensuring the health and safety of both our patrons and our dedicated team members. This legal framework provides the foundation for our policy, but our commitment to a pristine environment goes even further, shaping the entire Bacchus Lounge atmosphere into one of relaxation and enjoyment for everyone.
In the modern landscape of smoking alternatives, a clear policy on vaping and e-cigarettes is essential. To maintain a uniformly comfortable atmosphere, our smoke-free rule extends to include all forms of electronic smoking devices. Vaping is not permitted anywhere inside Bacchus Slots. While the vapor from these devices may be different from traditional smoke, our goal is to create an environment completely free of any airborne particulates or scents that could detract from the experience of other guests. This ensures that the air remains clear and the focus stays on the fun and socializing that makes Bacchus a top group hangout spot. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our indoor space enjoyable for our entire diverse clientele, from seasoned gamers to those just looking for a quiet place to have a drink.
We understand that some of our guests are smokers, and we are committed to accommodating your needs as well. We have established a designated outdoor smoking area that is both comfortable and easily accessible. Located just outside our entrance, this area is designed for your convenience, allowing you to step out for a smoke and re-enter with ease. We ask that all guests use the provided receptacles to dispose of cigarette butts to help us keep the area clean and tidy. This thoughtful accommodation ensures that every guest, smoker or non-smoker, has a place to feel comfortable while visiting us. If you are unsure where to go, any of our friendly staff members will be happy to provide directions.
Choosing to maintain a smoke-free environment offers numerous benefits that enhance the overall quality of your visit. It is a key element in what makes a good video gaming lounge stand out from the rest.
This commitment is part of our broader dedication to guest well-being, which also includes promoting responsible gaming. We encourage guests to play within their limits and provide easy access to resources like the Illinois Council on Problem Gambling for those who may need support.
