South Jersey is primarily built around the casino economy, and as the Greater Depression has worsened here with each passing year casinos continue to close. The state is dying, and this is just a symptom of that; the revenue sources are drying up, and we’re degenerating into “The Road Warrior”...
I can't understand why people even gamble in Atlantic City. The casinos are too expensive. The times I visited, the casinos had $25 minimums to play a hand. Very few tables would open with a $15 minimum, and they would soon convert to $25. That's too expensive. I'm on the west coast, and can play in Nevada at $5 minimums a hand, and $3 at some cheaper casinos. Plus our Indian casinos in California often have $5 minimum tables. It's no wonder the casinos in Atlantic City shut down, hard to attract customers. The Boardwalk was interesting, but not enough to make me want to return as a tourist.
