IN LOUISIANA: A BENEFIT/COST ANALYSIS
In 1998, total revenues for Louisiana's gambling industry
were nearly $2.2 billion, up from $192.1 million in 1990.
Unlike other industries, especially growth industries, gambling
has faced a great deal of criticism by business, government,
and religious leaders. In the face of this explosive growth
and the constant questions posed about the industry, the
Louisiana Legislature funded a study in the 1998 Fiscal
Session to determine the economic impact of gambling on
Louisiana. A consortium of researchers, led by Drs. Timothy
P. Ryan and Janet F. Speyrer of the University of New Orleans,
prepared a report for the Louisiana Gaming Control Board.
