Is there a lesson to be learned here? Yes. States should think twice before building their economies on a house of cards (pun intended).

Neighboring states thought about it and decided to get into the gambling business, thus ending the Atlantic City monopoly. There is no need to travel to NJ any longer to gamble, while casinos in CT and PA are thriving.
