No Casino! It will bring in crime and increase the prevalence of alcoholics around schools and college students.

A casino will negatively impact the community, especially the students because of its addictive qualities. The students do not need additional distractions from studying. We need things that will maintain and build up the intellectual and moral quality of the community not tear it down.

This is an addiction for many ppl, who cannot afford it. I oppose a casino in this area or any other.

I’m opposed to a casino because because it preys on folks who can least afford to lose their money in games of chance. Additionally spending long hours isolated in dark and a very noisy atmosphere is isolating. Gambling can be additive just like drugs are and we as a society don’t want them harming ourselves and our love ones.
I stand opposed to a casino.

Recently moved to P.A because I love the community. Please do not build a casino which will lead to crime, gambling addiction, drugs & prostitution. This is not the time for people to be gambling what little income they have. We need money for food and gas

The impact on this small university town and on the tens of thousands of students here would be very negative for all constituencies.

Atlantic City has a poverty rate of 40% and it is loaded with casinos. Please please please don't build a casino. It is a poor business model ... only old people go to these places to gamble; young people use their phones. And then the casino owners will ask for some kind of support from taxpayers. Dreadful idea.

Having grown up in State College, our mall holds many fond memories for me. The last thing I would want to happen to it is turning it into a casino.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board website includes the words, “The Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act was designed to produce tremendous benefits for Commonwealth citizens through the legalization of casino gaming.” Then it talks about jobs and taxes paid to governments.
However, we must ask where that money comes from. That’s easy. It comes from people who lost at gambling. Losers at casinos pay for buildings, employees, taxes, and HUGE PROFITS that the owners take home.
What about the compulsive gamblers who no longer have a home to go to???
What about the criminal activity that increases around such places???
What about the poverty of the losers???
What about the stress on the families and marriages???
What about the cost for government aid to losers?
What about the cost of law enforcement and prisons?
PLEASE DENY THE LICENSE FOR THE NITTANY MALL CASINO THAT WOULD HURT SO MANY
IN THE STATE COLLEGE AREA+++!!!!!!!
