Steve Perskie from NJ Gambling
Commission at May's Gambling Commision educational seminar:
"Let me make you a
promise. Your legislation requires that operators put up a $500m investment.
With that kind of money, you can be sure they're going to build an impressive
structure with restaurants, bars, nightclubs, shops. Make no mistake: the
delicatessan down the street is going to go out of business. The nightclub
around the corner is going to go out of business. Nothing the Mass. Casino
Commission can do is going to change that."
In the years after the first casinos were
built, Atlantic City went from having the 50th-highest per capita crime rate in
the United States to being No. 1 on the list.
