Increased incidence of gambling addiction, which can lead to: bankruptcy; divorce; theft; suicide; etc. Also, organized crime. And, monies which would normally go to other businesses and charities in the area are syphoned off into the gambling establishment.

The jobs gained by people who work in the "gaming" industry is more than offset by the money that is spent in casinos that is not spent on: buying a new car, buying a new outfit, going to a restaurant, or the store, etc.
In effect, a negative economic impact.
No matter what your governor tells you.

Addictions that can cause you to lose everything you own. (My neighbor lost his house!)
The gambling halls always win (except for a few highly publicized winners). It's a waste of money.
Some people out her skip eating, medications, and other necessities to toss coins in a machine. It's pitiful.
