Gamblers spend 10 percent less on food; 25 percent less on clothing and 35 percent less on savings

For every dollar of revenue generated by gambling, taxpayers must pay at least $3 in increased criminal justice costs, social welfare expenses, high regulatory costs, and increased infrastructure expenditures

You bring in gambling into a major population base, and the more people you have going into a casino, the more people you have hooked on gambling

Taxpayers would likely be responsible for treating addicts

The military should get rid of video gambling devices on nearly 100 overseas bases and posts

Legalized gambling cost taxpayers $3 for every $1 in state revenue to government

My bottom line is this is no time to be gambling with our economy
