The Northeast Corridor is saturated with casinos. One of the casinos mentioned that might shut down, Revel, is only two years old and has already filed for bankruptcy. Delaware has already had to bail out its casinos. Maryland is opening a casino in Baltimore this summer and there will be another one right off the Capital Beltway and just across the Potomac from VA in 2016. The only untapped market is the Atlantic Coast states from VA to GA. There is just one casino on a Cherokee reservation on the NC side of the Smoky Mountains.
Pretty sure the cost of just staying alive has sapped a lot of discretionary income that would of been “vacation money”.
