What is the effect of disorder gambling? Gambling create no output, it just the transfer of money in society. Gambling consume time and existing resource in the economy also. Gambling did not provide any resource like other media and other entertainment activities but it have it own value too. Is it true that gambling with legal status is better for the society whether the cost of gambling overcome the benefit it creates? This question is very subjective. * Are there costs involved that exceed the obvious economic development benefits? * Who actually gains and who loses? * If Las Vegas is a model of economic development through gaming, are there any other costs that need to be looked at? Las Vegas tends to have a wide variety of social ills associated with it. There is some controversy of the true level of these given the high tourist population. No studies have examined whether those are associated with gambling, the transient population, the growing population, or the low level of social services provided by the state. * How widespread are the economic benefits? Some research as Professor Robert Goodman, in his study entitled, “Legalized Gambling as a Strategy for Economic Development", describes the effect of gambling on local business. He indicates that a study in South Dakota a year after legalizing video gambling in the state did” Show significant declines for selected activities such as clothing stores, recreation services, business services, auto dealers and service stations." The tourists from abroad may spend more resource and time in the region, or local people that used to spend resource in other region change the behavior to gambling in the region. This case is the beneficial effect of gambling for region. The local people may increase spending on casino in substitution of other business, or tourists change from consuming others to gambling. This case gambling provide no additional benefit.

    The AGA believes that taxing Pennsylvania casinos’ promotional credit programs will be an economic deterrent to casinos offering such incentives, and consequently, result in a decrease in patron play and lower tax revenues generated for state and local governments. Increased taxes discourage reinvestment and prevent Pennsylvania casinos from meeting consumer demand, which, as we have seen in other states, leads patrons to seek these the latest gaming products in markets outside of the state. This would hurt Pennsylvania’s burgeoning casino industry and jeopardize jobs and millions in tax revenues.If adopted, Pennsylvania’s policy shift on promotional tax credits would be…

    The streets of Las Vegas Boulevard, which are littered with advertisements picturing naked girls willing to provide their services for a price, can be a scary place as someone takes a stroll. Drunk men stumble out of strip clubs and casinos, and girls in gaudy clothing and stilettos apply lipstick at their post. Nobody knows when someone lurking in the shadows might pop out with a knife to steal an unsuspecting person’s wallet. Or even worse, a friendly-looking stranger walking in the opposite direction could be waiting to come across the right person to drag into a dark alley, muffle their screams so that their cries for help blend into the noisy background of the streets, and do the unthinkable.…

    It is true gambling is not for everyone, especially stupid people. “Why?” you may ask. It is because stupid people make stupid choices. There should be a limit to how much money an individual can gamble with per year, depending on their income and winnings. This is traceable by their taxes. For example, if one person makes $40,000 per year, and have no dependents, they are only allowed to gamble $10,000 to $15,000 for that fiscal year. This will ensure that the individual’s life may still function.…

    According to Lamar E. Cooper Sr, "The Bible teaches that we are to live by our own work, not by the exploitation of others." He also states that, "Gambling is not an investment in anything; it is a simple win/lose proposition in which the winner takes all and the loser forfeits all." If commercial casinos are legalized in Ohio, the 11 proposed sites for land- based casinos would generate an estimated 610 million in tax revenue on winnings, of the estimated 610 million received in taxed revenue, some will go towards rehabilitation and education for problem gamblers. Contrary to Cooper, gambling is an investment were the loser ends up winning in the long run through education and rehabilitation and also the winner doesn't take all because their winnings will be taxed. Also by legalizing commercial casinos we will be living by our own work, because the proposed 11 casinos would create an additional 85,000 jobs in Ohio which in turn means more revenue going to the state of Ohio through income taxes. Also giving the workers the opportunity to spend money they worked for, within our states casinos instead of going out of state to…

    Gambling was declared illegal in 1892 when leaders worried the “get rich quick” method would destroy the Protestant work ethic. It remained a criminal offence for three-quarters of a century until, under pressure from Quebec to pay off its debts and raising money for the Montreal Summer Olympics, prime minister Pierre Trudeau legalized lotteries in 1969, as well as legalizing abortion, homosexuality and expanding gun control. Ontario’s government is hardly alone in its unabashed enthusiasm for gambling. From lotteries, to casinos, to electronic gaming machines at bars and restaurants, gambling now generates an astonishing $14 billion a year in revenues for provincial governments, up from just $2.7 billion 20 years ago. Provincial governments…

    The expansion of legalized gambling poses a number of issues for policymakers. Two related issues, which have not been dealt with extensively from a public policy perspective, are examined in this commentary: state responsibility for addressing pathological and problem gambling, and the legal status and regulation of Internet gambling. A review of the recommendations of the 1998 National Gambling Impact Study Commission on pathological and problem gambling as well as state policies and practices indicates that little has been accomplished in dealing with the need for education, prevention, and treatment. Confusing and contradictory legislation and policies abound. Internet gambling flourishes, and federal and state governments are ambivalent about legalizing it. Both problem gambling and regulation of Internet gambling urgently need attention. The legalization and regulation of commercial gambling involves a wide range of public policy issues. These include such matters as how jurisdictions decide to legalize gambling in the first place, and what forms of gambling to legalize (e.g., lotteries, casinos, pari-mutuel racing, bingo). Another policy issue faced by jurisdictions that already have some form of legal gambling is the decision of whether or not to expand existing forms or add new ones. Once gambling has been legalized, jurisdictions face the issue of how to regulate it. For gambling businesses to succeed, gamblers need to be confident that the games are honest and that they will be paid if they win. One role of regulatory agencies is to ensure that gambling activities occur in such a manner that these conditions are met. Decisions about all these matters are made in a highly politicized environment and are shaped by a variety of competitive forces. The initial decision to legalize any form of gambling is typically supported by those likely to benefit financially or politically in some way and opposed by…

    The future development of casinos benefits government, tribes, and the general public. While problem gambling continues to affect millions in America, casino development has little effect on the growth of problem gambling. However, casino development cannot help every tribe. Many tribes live in remote or otherwise uninhabited spaces, making casino development a fruitless endeavor. Gambling can, in some cases help bridge the gap, but in general the Native American population still faces hardships. Gambling, in conjunction with assistance from the government, may bring Native Americans away from…

    Gambling is legal in many places, it's not either a criminal or dangerous activity provided it is done responsibly, and in accordance with the law. Have you ever wagered on a game? If so you were gambling and should have been fined. Lawmakers have decided that it is evil to gamble, they have justified it as a means to scam billions from citizens in order to compensate for their mismanagement of tax revenue. They pass laws that could put a taxpayer in jail for placing a single dollar wager on a pool game. Legalizing gambling nationally could potentially benefit our economic situation.…

    First, building a casino in Penghu is absolutely a terrible boondoggle and the investment will be in vain. Since Penghu is at an inconvenient location, it is difficult to attract gamblers. Unlike Genting Highlands of Malaysia and Cheju island of South Korea, the public transportation system in Penghu is not well developed and has only a small domestic airport. Besides that, Penghu is rather close to Macau. I believe that many gamblers will go to casinos in Macau instead of visiting Penghu because the casinos in Macau are famous, glorious and at a good location. And after having fun in the casinos of Macau, gamblers can also go sightseeing in China. Because the location of Penghu is poor and it is not well-known, it will extremely hard for Penghu’s casino to make a profit. Building a casino there may not able to attract many visitors and thus the government’s investment will end in failure.…
