Commercial casinos provided 354,000 jobs,[2] and state and local tax revenues of $5.2 billion as of 2006[update].[3] Critics of gambling claim it leads to increased political corruption, compulsive gambling and higher crime rates. Others claim that gambling is a type of regressive tax on the individuals in local economies where gambling venues are located.
