How much do we need casinos?

Just wondering what we get out of having casinos as a tourist and investment attraction.

Without decrying the dangers that easy gambling accessibility would do to the general public (even if one supposedly has to show that he has the means to gamble), is it worth the jobs, the taxes, the predisposition to break the law that governs our monetary rules and in general bring about a moral dilemma regarding gambling as an addiction or as the mother of sub rosa behavior to eschew honest labor as well as circumvent the very rules that are supposedly in place to keep it under control?
