Should casinos be banned?
Should casinos be banned? This entry weighs the arguments on both sides of the question — that casinos should be banned, and that they should not — covering concerns from gambling harm to personal freedom and economic contribution.
Position 1 of 2
Read this position →Yes, casinos should be banned
This position holds that casinos should be prohibited rather than licensed, on the grounds that their revenue depends on losses concentrated among those least able to bear them and on a venue designed to keep people gambling past the point they intended.
Position 2 of 2
Read this position →No, casinos should not be banned
This position holds that casinos should remain lawful, treating gambling as a choice adults are entitled to make and arguing that prohibition would hand the activity to unlicensed operators rather than bringing it to an end.
