Casinonomics

The Socioeconomic Impacts of the Casino Industry

A comprehensive analysis of the most-debated economic and social effects of casino gambling — from economic growth, tax revenues, and cannibalization to crime, problem gambling, and political corruption. Written for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals.

Drawing on three decades of research, the book distills the academic literature into a single accessible volume, with careful attention to where the evidence is strong, where it is weak, and where common assumptions break down.
