  • NY Times Article About Immigrants Taking Advantage of a Casino Bus Promotion

    Here's an interesting article about immigrants in the northeast taking advantage of a bus program for the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, PA. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for these people to do this? I guess they have nothing better to do with their time and they make money doing this? I am not quite sure as I don't think the article fully explains the situation.


    For dozens of Korean and Chinese immigrants living in Flushing, Queens, riding the casino buses has become a way of life. Twice a day, they descend on unmarked bus stops off Main Street to secure a $15 seat to the Sands casino in Bethlehem, Pa. Many do not gamble. They make the trip solely for the free gambling and meal vouchers they receive when they arrive, coupons they sell on the black market. A half-day trip to the Sands can net around $40.
