Should we legalize gambling everywhere in U.S?
In casinos from coast to coast, in slot parlors from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Shore, at racetracks and in lotteries across the country, Americans will legally gamble away—that is, lose—nearly $90 billion this year.

How times change. A hundred years ago, gambling was a national vice almost universally outlawed. A mere 30 years ago, Americans could only gamble legally in Nevada and Atlantic City. Yet, since the early 1990s, state-sanctioned gambling has exploded. Rural Connecticut and a once-backwater patch of Mississippi are gambling oases, Iowa has a small fleet of riverboat casinos, and a gambling parlor has been proposed for Buffalo, N.Y. There are casinos in 32 states, and every state except Hawaii and Utah offers some form of legal betting. The public seems eager to play: The take for commercial casinos alone has more than doubled since 1995, from $16 billion to nearly $33 billion last year.
Is this really a good idea?
