A report by the American Gaming Association finds the impact of the 19 state-licensed casinos in Iowa is bigger than previously estimated.  Iowa Gaming Association president, Wes Ehrecke says the A-G-A report looked at the job and dollar impact of the casinos.

Ehrecke says the casino industry has come a long way in the state.

The A-G-A survey looked across the gambling facilities in Iowa, with a special focus on the impact of the casinos in Dubuque and Council Bluffs.  The study was released as a part of its “getting to know gambling” campaign.
