Is Rep. Gingrich saying our legislators and the (PGCB) Pa. Gaming Control Board is policing the compulsive gambling problem in our casinos, if so, where’s the proof. I would like her to give me one thing any of them have done that addresses this problem. The only legislation that has been put forth since our Gaming Law passed in 2004 that addresses this problem is Casino Monthly Statements. The reason it hasn’t passed in the last four sessions is because our casino operators/lobbyists have made our lawmakers well aware of the ill-effect these statements will have on the casinos bottom line and that will have a negative effect on state gaming tax coffers.

"While convenience is a key element, the persistent challenge of gambling addiction and abuse may well be magnified since the ability to police the gaming process will be completely different and more complex," Gingrich said.
