Pro Casino Claimes Checked Out

19 July 2007

A pro-casino group called "Yes for Progress" is airing television ads that focus on three basic questions connected with casinos, job creation, attracting conventions and foreign money and tax income. Funding for this strange group includes donations from a number of individuals, among them owners of different casinos and other interest groups.

The ads made several statements, and it may be a good idea to look at each of them and dissect it. Here is a look at the statements made in the ads. They say that a casino would generate thousands of jobs for the community both during the construction and during the actual operating. These figures come from a study titled Economic and Social Impact Analysis for a Proposed Wichita Casino & Hotel. The study assumed an average wage of $32,000 per job for the casino and hotel.

Furthermore, the study showed that a casino would attract conventions and 2.9 million visitors a year. Such a casino would have a great impact on the way that people worked and gambled wherever they lived. A casino would make the financial situation of any area that much better. Tourist spending in fact, would be doubled.

The ad claims a casino would attract conventions and an additional 2.9 million visitors each year, nearly doubling tourist spending.

It's difficult to know if that would be the case. If the best case scenario could become a reality, it could in the same way not, and then all would become pipe dreams. Attracting conventions and tourists will depend on whether a casino could pull in people from out of the immediate area. In addition, industry experts say to be a destination casino, the facility must offer amenities such as hotel rooms and spa services.

However, what the casino would indeed offer would be a big tax relief. By law, 22% of all tax revenue must go to the state, 2% to the problem and addictions fund, 1.5% to the city1.5 to the country. However, some people feel that the taxes from casinos are in essence hidden taxes, paid by those who gamble. But there is no doubt that a casino would make the mode of life better in many places, but such a venture demands strict regulations as well.
