Subject
Summary:

Forty-eight states had some form of legalized gambling as of 1999. The estimated revenue from legalized gambling totaled more than $54 billion in 1998. This report (1) examines the June 1999 findings of the National Gambling Impact Study Commission on the economic and social effects on communities and families and (2) explores issues raised by a case study involving Atlantic City, New Jersey, a gambling destination since the 1970s. GAO discusses the economic impacts of gambling, particularly on employment, bankruptcy, tax revenues, and community investment; the social effects of gambling; the prevalence of pathological gambling; and whether communities offer incentives to attract gambling establishments.
