Industry showing how casinos help small businesses
By Richard N. Velotta, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The American Gaming Association is starting a series of road trips Tuesday to explain how commercial and tribal casinos help small businesses across the country.
Representatives of the Washington, D.C.-based association will meet with Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md., at Eastern Food Services in Laurel, Md., to raise awareness of the casino industry’s influence on small business and the economy.
The association completed a report in February showing that casinos support 350,000 small-business jobs in the United States and are responsible for $52 billion in revenue across several employment categories.
