I think the conclusion from this is gambling industry will give some revenue to the country and will make some contribution to the people in another section. as I see in here, gambling revenue makes a big money to the owners and gives a good amount for the tax. and for the employment, there are many people that work in the gambling industry and the other field and of course, this will help people which need jobs for searching the income. besides that, with the gambling industry, this will attract tourism to visit the country and they are playing gambling in many places in that country and this will make another contribution to the other fields.
