Overview: NGISC and its contractors reported that legalized gambling, especially in casinos, has resulted in an increased number of jobs in communities and decreased the unemployment rate and unemployment insurance payments. The social effects of gambling on communities are more difficult to measure than the economic effects, primarily because of limited quality data on social effects, the complexity of identifying and measuring social effects, and the difficulty of establishing a cause-effect relationship between gambling and social problems due to the difficulty of isolating any one factor that causes social problems.
