Gambling has many damaging consequences. It can affect the economy of the country by increasing the rate of unemployment, forced selling of homes, and increased consumption of alcohol and drug addiction. It has many social consequences too. The children of the addicted and poor gamblers do not get the proper nurturing they should be getting. They are often abused physically and mentally by the addicted parent. The gamblers also experience emotional and physical abandonment.

Really? where did you see the economy go into recession because of gambling? I've seen it happen a few times because of the market crashes, unemployment, fiat money losing its value, but never because of gambling. You're making things up!

Agreed, I do even think that countries that legalizes gambling are even have better economical condition because of the big taxes. Casinos even opens more job vacancies. The biggest consequence of gambling only affect the gamblers and people around them (family). It wont give big bad effect to the economy of any countries.
