Stop Predatory Gambling

The truth still the same 18 years later

The Hartford Courant, the largest daily newspaper in a state with two of the biggest casinos in the world, published an editorial yesterday with the headline “Is gambling worth it?”

It strongly questions whether the small percentage of overall budget revenue the state receives from the casinos has been worth hosting the most predatory business in America.

The editorial was a response to a recent Foxwoods Casino press release announcing the casino’s slot machines have contributed $3 billion to Connecticut’s treasury over the past 18 years. What other business regularly issues press releases telling the public how much money they provide to the state budget?
