In the US, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has predicted that a ballot question asking voters whether to expand casino gambling to north Jersey will fail if lawmakers don't approve a state takeover of Atlantic City.
“There is no way voters will approve the expansion of gaming when the only place where gaming has been allowed goes down the toilet,” Christie said at a news conference in which he emphasised the need for the takeover.
“Atlantic City is headed for a disaster and north Jersey gaming is headed for a defeat if we don't get our act together,” he added. “It’s time to stop all the theatre.”
