The video is worth watching to hear Mohegan Sun exec gloss over the low wage jobs that are created.
Casino capitalism only benefits the casino operators
The crisis on Wall Street- AIG, Lehman Brothers, Bernie Madoff and so on - are all part of what’s been called “casino capitalism” – using predatory practices and financial gimmicks to promote an illusion of free money, all at the expense of unsuspecting Americans.
Predatory gambling is casino capitalism in its crudest form. Watch the brief video below of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs (PA) CEO Robert Soper testifying before a PA Legislative Committee that his blackjack dealers in Connecticut, not including tips which come out of the customer's pocket, are paid somewhere between "$6 and $7 an hour" and, if table games are approved in Pennsylvania, his dealers would probably be paid even "lower."
