Winners and losers: Politics, casino gambling, and development in Atlantic City

In: Policy studies review: PSR, Band 10, Heft Spring/Summer 91

Abstract

Traces the politics of gambling in New Jersey and the city, the massive flow of capital into casinos, and the resulting flows of funds in the local economy. City residents have gained minimally from gambling; the area, including suburbs, has gained from in-migration. However, even including such spillovers, gambling did not produce the expected gains.
