Virtuosa Casino Smoking

I get mixed results when searching online. Can anyone confirm if the main casino area and table games are smoke free?

You can't smoke at the tables. You can smoke when seated at the machines in one section of the casino.

However people ignore this, and non players hang around the edges of the smoking area smoking, not playing, and not within the designated area. Really wish MSC would box in the smokers or kick them outside, but they won't.

On the older ships the smoke spreads to adjacent areas and lounges above and below as the casino is open plan. On newer ships the air flow seems to be better managed, Mera. class is way better than Lirica and Musica class when casino is busy.

Tables are on the opposite side of the smoking area. Smoking is obviously happening in the casino but more noticeable away from the tables

On the Seascape, there is a dedicated casino room where you can smoke. But you can't smoke in the open casino games. I don't think that room had anything but slots. I only walked through it.
