According to the coalition against gambling in New York, the increase of gambling affects communities in the social and economical level, for these reasons, gambling growth must be stopped.
Some people claim that the expansion of casino gambling began at the same that Pataki became governor. These people also believe that casino gambling is not a means of economic prosperity; however, Pataki authorized the creation of six new casinos in western New York, right after 9/11, 2001.
Two casinos have been built in Niagara Falls and in Cattaraugus County. Niagara Falls was a struggling city when the casino was built but nowadays, it is even in worse conditions, both economically and socially. Pataki seems to ignore what is going on there, for he wishes to expand casino gambling even more. Last year he suggested the creation of eight video lottery terminal parlors, with electronic slot machines. Apparently, he believes that more casinos meant more jobs in the region and to prevent New York from losing the gambling revenues to Connecticut and New Jersey.
A moratorium would halt further gambling expansion, but unfortunately, would not put a stop to any existing casinos or video lottery terminals. The New York Council on Problem Gambling reports that there are 750,000 New York citizens who have a gambling problem and this number may rise with the expansion of casino gambling.
Maybe the federal government has to intervene in order to get rid of gambling and stabilize the US economy. The coalition against gambling sees gambling as a way to tax the citizens without calling it by its name.
