Predatory Gambling is promoted based on whatever the local market of short-sighted politicians and local 'suckers' will believe.
In Massachusetts, they were just as blinded by phony promises as New York.
Wait until you see this one! Automated Gambling will suck discretionary income out of the local economy faster and create Gambling Addicts faster.
When the Gambling Industry speak of the 'technological changes,' this is part of what they mean - eliminating EMPLOYEES!

Robot dealers in a Queens Casino -- Huh....Didn't I just recently hear about a recent field trip Cedric Cromwell and Mayor Hoye took to a Queens casino - to use as a comparison for the Taunton casino? I wonder if it was this one.....

Oct 28, 2011 8:37 AM Post-9/11, New York State legislators decided an enormous casino, opening today, would help the devastated economy. Unfortunately, some pesky laws prohibiting gaming got in the way. No problem! Just replace all the humans with robots. It's like Vegas on Mars.
Well, not Mars—Queens, actually. But the combination of requisite casino artificial light and robot card-dealing arms might make you feel like you're aboard a space station. Not everyone is happy, the NYT reports—the usual casinos are good for the economy versus casinos are a social ill (not mutually exclusive?) argument persists. But I'm wondering what kind of anti-cheating mechanisms a massive casino without human dealers will have in place. The number of carbon based enforcers peering over your shoulder will explode compared to a normal gaming joint, even with cameras pointed in every which direction. Will lasers be involved? I have a feeling I'll find out for myself soon. [Resorts World Casino New York City via NYT]
