I live in CT and we have two, yes they did come to the employment rescue when electric boat had massive layoffs and yes they do contribute millions to the general revenue fund(we spend it), but we still have the highest taxes in the country. We tax everything from before birth to after death.Income tax, sales tax sewer tax, property tax,auto tax, fire tax,gas tax, .... The local towns and business surrounding the casinos thought they would prosper, but the casinos are like disney world. They keep the spenders on their property and people have no reason to shop, stay, or spend money off the property. Picture the Mount Washington as a floating casino, how nice.
