The state has oversight of the casinos. No oversight and inspections, no operation.

That is false, that the State operators are gone because of the budget crunch.
According to a member of the Washington State Gaming Commission, state casino handlers are paid indirectly by the very casinos that they are supposed to be watching. This is possible because the private casino pays a fee for these state workers to operate, and the fee goes towards their salaries.
So basically, the state taxpayers don't pay for these workers, the casinos do. Hence, the only explanation is that the state is taking the fees from casinos and putting it towards something it wasn't meant for.

New Jersey's government shutdown took state casino monitors off the job Wednesday. The resorts' gaming halls can't operate without them. So, the state Casino Control Commission ordered the 12 casinos to cordon off their gambling areas, disable the slots and lock up the money for the first time ever.

By law, every casino has to have government monitors present to operate. Without those monitors available when the government shut down, the casinos were not allowed to operate. Which, stupidly, cost the state $1.5 million per day in tax revenue.

In order for them to operate, they have to have State Inspectors on site. Since half of the state is shut down, due to no budget, there are no inspectors.
Hence, no inspectors, no casino's........
