6. The collapse of north Jersey casinos. Despite urging from legislators and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a ballot question that would allow for casinos to be built outside of Atlantic City failed big time during the November 8 election. The referendum's huge loss is attributed to a lobbying group called Trenton’s Bad Bet that was able to convince voters that expanding gaming would be detrimental to the entire state of New Jersey. However, legislators are expected to push similar proposals in coming years in an attempt to recapture gamblers they say are leaving the state in order to visit casinos in neighboring states.
