Rochester, Wash., Guests and employees of Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel can literally breathe easier thanks to a cutting-edge new molecular air purification system installed at the casino earlier this year.

The system attacks smoke and other air contaminants at a molecular level, leaving the air virtually smoke free.

“We can now proudly say that Lucky Eagle has the cleanest air of any casino in the region and we achieved it in an environmentally friendly way,” Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel Chief Executive Officer John Setterstrom said.

The air purification system pioneered by Moleculair™ Technologies, Inc. emits a very fine mist of naturally occurring chemicals into the casino through the existing ventilation system. The mist binds to smoke molecules and other air contaminants, breaking down and destroying them.

The product is in over 40 Casinos nationwide and they are expecting to double that in 2013.

“Our system is reliable and hassle free to install and maintain,” said Chief Operating Officer Joe DiLeo of Moleculair. “We have received calls from all over the world wanting our technology. We were excited to add Lucky Eagle Casino to our list of clients.”

It is believed that Lucky Eagle is the first casino in Washington to implement this new technology.

“This is yet another example of our commitment to making the experience for our guests as comfortable and enjoyable as possible,” Setterstrom said.

Lucky Eagle Casino & Hotel is owned and operated by the Chehalis Tribe. The casino features more than 900 slot machines, plus live poker, blackjack, keno and bingo. The newly expanded 171-room Eagles Landing Hotel is connected to the casino.
