Paper Summary:

This paper discusses various social and economic benefits of legalized gambling. It looks at the increased revenues for private and government enterprises, as well as a boost in tourism. Social and moral factors are discussed as a negative result of legalized gambling.

From the Paper:

"Pennsylvania is considering a statue to legalize gambling; raising the issue of how this would benefit the state and what harm it might bring to the state. Gambling is not entirely alien to Pennsylvania, which has a state lottery that brings in good revenue each year. Legalized gambling would increase revenues to the state and also increase the number and variety of gambling outlets available to the public, with slot machines being a prime contender for a role under the new regime. Some are opposing the initiative for moral reasons or because they see gambling as a social problem, while many of the proponents see the potential for lower taxes and increased funding for various government programs. The debate has been ongoing for months and continues."
