"But I also think that it does create a lot of revenue, but to me it's a temporary revenue stream because it's an industry that, if suddenly gambling started in Massachusetts, then a lot of our patrons who would gamble in New Hampshire if we had it, would disappear"

This quote by Craig Benson suggests that while betting can produce a great deal of profits, it is not a sustainable income source. Benson thinks that if betting were to appear in Massachusetts, a lot of the patrons who currently gamble in New Hampshire would no longer do so. This would lead to a decrease in profits for New Hampshire, as the customers would no longer be adding to the state's economy. Benson's quote suggests that gaming is not a reliable source of earnings, as it depends on the accessibility of gambling in other states. Therefore, Benson recommends that New Hampshire need to not rely entirely on gaming as a source of income.
