Casino gambling has spread throughout the world, and continues to spread. As governments try to cope with fiscal pressures, legalized casinos offer a possible source of additional tax revenue.

The Economics of Casino Gambling is a comprehensive discussion of the social and economic costs and benefits of legalized gambling.
