Chris Christie and Atlantic City casinos dropping like flies

Terry Blue
  Atlantic city was a scummy Eastern coastal city that for years tried to rely on gambling to keep it afloat. Like many New Jersey cities this city was plagued by crime and drugs and can be marked as another one the black nicer lass has helped destroy. Three casinos in the city are shut g down including  the Revel, Showboat, and Trump Plaza. This city had lost  another one in the previous year as the Atlantic Casino Club shut down. Any city that has to rely on the casino industry who basically makes their profits from another tax on losers who are easily persuaded to gamble their little fortunes is a city that deserves to be on the decline. This scenario Atlantic City faces is likely to recur in Las Vegas and this s due mainly to the casino fixation of the entire country making these two places no longer the reclusive place for gambling.
   Casinos were once  the most reliable source of revenue for Atlantic City but this has declined and Atlantic City is surely to follow the same ghetto path of Newark as these casinos shut. The Revel was only opened two years ago to much revelation as Chris Christie got his fat ass to the ribbon cutting ceremony and said this new casino would be a game changer. when you have a man running the state that would say a ridiculous notion off adding more casinos to an already oversaturated market.   This is a city that has stunk since World War II being extremely dangerous and the hope of city leaders in making this a gambling Mecca has has totally faltered. I expect many more casinos of the eight still existing to shut down and Atlantic City will be just known as it already was and that is just another shitty Jersey city next to New York where wealthy people would never venture and take a risk passing through.
