I fully support the need for a Gaming Commission to study and regulate all of the forms of gambling in Virginia. With the proliferation of gambling options (virtual, slot, and casino) in the last ten years, this is an idea that is well overdue. Issues like substitutablity, compulsive gambling, market saturation, and the true economic benefit to the locality and the State need to be analyzed and standards/ regulations established. Risky gambling behavior among the young because of access to online gambling is especially worrying. Virginia needs to establish a Gaming Commission to address these issues before it is too late.
