Steve Wynn complained that he and other operators are proposing spending billions of dollars to build casinos in Massachusetts, but the state's regulators act "as if they're doing us a favor." Wynn is unintentionally correct: Legally, a casino license is a privilege, not a right. Applicants and operators need to remember that casinos are considered morally suspect industries. The law treats gaming different from all other legal businesses, often in ways that defy common sense.
