In Missouri we have casinos. They aren't really a nuisance and adults, poor or not, can choose what they want to do with their money imo. I personally think it's dumb for people to spend their money on fatty foods and junk food, but I won't vote to make it illegal, even if obesity is one of the top killers in the U.S. due to the cardiovascular and diabetic complications that it causes.
During this election their is a ballot to limit the number of casinos in Missouri and to require a percentage for the Missouri DOE which is estimated to bring in $130 million a year. Not bad. We don't have to deal with casinos popping up in inconvenient locations.. and we get a bigger cut now.
We also have a lottery which is run by multiple states and brings in an additional $200 million or so a year for education. Not bad.
