From the supplier: The rapid expansion of the US gambling industry is drawing to a close with the formation of populist coalitions against the industry and the passage of a law creating an investigative commission. The industry has previously succeeded in improving its image and has succeeded in portraying itself as a legitimate and family-friendly spur to economic development. Gambling opponents, however, refute the economic benefits of casinos, claiming that casinos do not create new wealth but rather divert funds away from more useful endeavors.
