Speaking yesterday at the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry quarterly luncheon at the Wexford hotel in Montego Bay, St. James, University of the West Indies Deputy Principal Joseph Pereira said that the introduction of casino gambling can do no more harm to Jamaica than has already been caused.

According to Pereira, “I don’t think that we Jamaicans could have any more corruption of our morals, we’re already corrupted. I have no reservations whatsoever in proposing that we promote casino gambling as quickly as possible. It seems to me that, when you look at other places that have done this, it has been a boost for the economy, without corrupting the morals of the society.“
