This study pursues who the proponents and opponents of casino gaming are, focusing on the currently debated introduction of land-based casinos in Kentucky. A survey was conducted with 600 randomly sampled residents. Qualitative Choice Models were considered to identify the factors that contributed to residents’ support for or opposition to casino gaming. A Logistic Regression (Logit) model was chosen and education, employment status, and religion were found significant in the model. The fact that more respondents opposed the legalization of the proposed land-based casino gaming leaves the debate wide open to continued discussion.
