Campaign Promotes Gambling

The American Gaming Association has launched an aggressive campaign aimed at promoting gambling’s positive benefits in the growing number of communities with casinos. The multi-year effort aims to convince policy makers and opinion leaders that gaming is a mainstream business that should be treated like any other job creator.

All too often, a spokesman says, regulations and “punitive” taxes by wary communities have stymied the industry’s ability to innovate and grow. The campaign comes as casinos are enjoying expansion that has left all but two states with some form of legalized gambling.
