It often serves to funnel a lot of people's "disposable" income into a single area, so that other "entertainment" services or disposable income businesses in the area flounder, and this has backlash on the entire community.
It can also lead to weird loan-shark crime problems, and predatory lending issues, when people want a short-term loan to cover an amount they didn't expect to lose gambling.
Because high tipping is common for winners, it draws unskilled labor (car attendants, drink servers, etc.) away from the other job pools in the area. Because drinks are often part of the gambling, it can increase drunk driving problems, which have an indirect affect on local economics.
None of these are insurmountable problems, but they all have to be considered as part of the issue of whether to allow gambling.
