Casino gambling has spread throughout the world, and
continues to spread. As governments try to cope with fiscal
pressures, legalized casinos offer a possible source of
additional tax revenue. But casino gambling is often
controversial, as some people have moral objections to
gambling. In addition, a small percentage of the population
may become pathological gamblers who may create significant
social costs. On the benefits side, casinos are often purported to spur
economic growth (increases in GDP), employment, and tax
revenues. However, these benefits have been questioned. Does
casino expansion simply "cannibalize" other industries,
having no net effect? Or does casino gambling have
significant positive economic impacts? The Economics of
Casino Gambling is a comprehensive discussion of the social
and economic costs and benefits of legalized gambling. It is
the only comprehensive discussion of these issues available
on the market.
