Will There Be A Casino In Israel?
01-Aug-06
Gambling helps to develop a country, however, for Israel it may be both good and bad. At present, gambling in Israel is illegal, but there are talks to make it legal and to build a casino in Eilat. Israel gets to know what effects a casino might have on people and economy of the country and also how much the country may earn. Then, if the decision is that a casino would be good for Israel, it will think of changing the law and talk with people who would give money to build a casino. Israel, as a country, is interesting because it is quite similar to European countries, but religion and state operate together. That is why, the religious groups in Israel have been always important in Hebrew parliament, the Knesset. Those religious groups have never liked gambling, so, because of their importance, there was no discussion in parliament about casinos. Casinos are more and more popular in the world and Israelis go to some other countries to gamble there and left their money there. That is why, it might be very good for Israel to have its own casino. The money would stay in the country. Another good point is that a legal gambling would stop illegal gambling business in the country. Finally, there would be fewer crimes connected with illegal gambling.
