Here's the thing, though...Dr Kuburski himself says on this issue that the existing models for calculating the economic impact of casinos - one of which he created - are unable to capture the economic cost of the social problems created by the casino, which are real, and high, but very difficult and complicated to capture economically. One example he gave if a casino contributes to a suicide, the economy loses all the productive working years of that person's life. But how do you capture that in the economic model? You can't.
