Only for the owners of the slot machines. And in my case, it is good for me that the casinos pay all those taxes so I don't have to pay income tax, and the schools benefit a little. However, all the casinos in Reno have to do is whine about how their tax liability is too high, and the City Fathers lower their taxes! These casinos have been around since before I was born and show no signs of closing their doors any time soon.

They're the answer to other people's economic woes once they get broke. Gambling never is a good idea when dealing with the economy. Job growth and investing in the infrastructure are the best ways to assuage a region's economic woes. These machines are just vampires that suck the money away from people.

It's so odd. People who gamble on the slots and lottery (etc.) are paying extra tax VOLUNTARILY, but I guess they'll never see it that way.
