Not sure it that's a good idea, it would be like AC, drive through the ghetto to go to the glitter, and drive back.

I am voting for them. Personally, specifically, I'd like to see a casino at the Meadowlands (racetrack). That said, I don't want Northern NJ saturated with casinos however. I think one to start is a very good idea. Start, understand and handle the countless issues that need to be addressed. In recent years, casinos and other forms of gambling/wagering are surrounding NJ -- as close to the border and they will get closer -- in NY and PA. A major percentage of "gambling dollars" are leaving the state.

I think the benefits are very favorable, and I think it's inevitable. Wait too long and then do it -- and it's too late.

interesting, I do not gamble. so I do not care much for casinos. Atlantic city offers fancy hotels and shows that I have been meaning to attend for a decade now.

Do Italian descendants have a predisposition to gambling ?

There is math at work behind gamboling.

People like me, we tend to gamble on the stock market and call it investing Smile

These new casinos will be the death blow to AC’s only industry. So I am not sure.

I am interested in marijuana reform. I can’t believe we are voting on something so useless and trivial.

It may be the death blow to AC but when they first voted for casino gambling, I think the first vote was throughout the state. I knew an electrician who worked on what became the Playboy Club in Vernon Twp. He told me it was all wired for slot machines, etc. in anticipation of legalized gambling.
