I moved to Massachusetts from Florida this summer. I am not really a gambler, but I am used to having casinos around and know how much people love them, and realized that many people in Massachusetts love going to gamble as well. Except what I found to be strange is that they travel to other states (I know two big ones are over the border in Connecticut) and give this huge revenue to them. It boggles my mind with something as commonly loved as gambling would be scoffed in this state, as it's many financial advantages could certainly help us in these dire economical times. And it's not like online gambling is illegal in this state. My cousin blows so much money on an online poker site it amazes me, when he could be spending his money on a stimulating economic boost, as casinos help the growth of entire communites. They generate a huge amount of jobs, including casino employees, labor jobs, restaurants, hotels, just to mention a few of the most obvious. I don't see why so many people are against welcoming casinos to this state; I just don't think they know what they're missing out on.
