The article conceptualizes "gaming" as a type of commodity......This is interesting, but also a little disengenuous. Without launching a full throttled economic analysis of this idea, for which I will be excoriated, I will simply say that this way of thinking is indicative of how the proliferation of gambling has eroded the moral objections that used to exist. It is now a commodity, and not a vice or sin, which is fine.....Except for the simple fact that the distribution of this "commodity" is imperfect, sometimes grievously so....
We have mentioned many times on this forum that casinos are oversaturated....In truth, they are just inefficiently distributed, with too high a concentration in specific areas without enough concentration in other areas....

"40 states have gaming of some sort, whether it be walk in and out casinos or major resorts that support gambling." The article seems to believe otherwise, as 80% of the states have gaming. But I know what you mean. If you can transplant one or more from Las Vegas elsewhere, that's a much more efficient distribution of venues. I think AC is just about where it needs to be. Taj reboot may again shake up the ecosystem.
