I am not sure if smoking and gambling can be compared. If taxes are a burden, the profits will come down either for the business or for the customers, so if the chance of winning and making money is decreased, participants may decrease. There will always be visitors who can afford, but there exist enthusiasts who want to learn and with time want to be good at it, become skilled, even make a living out of it, there should be a lot of practice along with learning, and if participation becomes costly, such enthusiasts may become less or infrequent. They may restrict themselves to their local establishments.
On a different note, while gambling in one form or another form has existed in our culture since time immemorial, even in the epics, government may want to look good by imposing stricter norms, more so with the election coming up, and with the explosion of social media and tech, no news is regional news, it can have impact elsewhere too. The decision could be modified, and if that happens, price will go up, which now is at the long term support of around 170.
Not invested, follow the business occasionally.
