Casinos Are Booming Thanks to State Governments' Need to Exploit Gambling Addicts for Revenue

obviously if you have a liquor store two blocks away then it is easier to get liquor than if the store is fifteen miles away.

Then too, having one nearby, rather than in Vegas, means that the local one will advertise locally, and it means, perhaps, that your friends and neighbors will go to it, and talk about it, and thus encourage other people to go to it. Heck, around here they have casino tables set up at the local graduation parties. Teach people to play and gamble upon graduation. And is there no difference between a Governor who discourages gambling and one who encourages it? Will that have no impact?
