Will a State Gambling Moratorium Have Any Effect?

Mon May 17, 1999

It's been about three weeks since the National Gambling Impact Study Commission (NGISC) mentioned proposing a moratorium on state gambling expansion in its report to Congress, due June 18. Already, several states have taken steps toward new lotteries and casinos. AP writer, Laurence Arnold, says that to some, ''calling for a gambling ‘pause' now is like shutting the barn door after the horses are out.'' Nearly each American state wonders: Why should we draw the line while our neighbors rake in the revenue? NGISC members discuss whether to label their suggestion a ''pause'' or a ''moratorium,'' but their efforts may be futile. There is good reason to doubt that states, local governments or Indian tribes will voluntarily heed the commission's warning to halt gambling expansion.
