Paperboy... the gambling industry here is not without its problems. Forgetting the fact the some casino ops are controlled by US folks who obviously are gonna end up in a jail cell back home - if they do go back. (A Learjet collects US citizens every Thursday from the airport to stand trial back home.)
The problem with any "industry" moving anyplace, is the government will step in and want a cut (or to put it another way, licence it). In the interim period there will be no end of hassle.
There has been a lot of thinking on the gaming industry - many have moved off already to the EU where there is less problems and those left here are the subject of discussion in govt.
The adult biz has little to offer Costa Rica - only more bad PR :-) Tho we don't want to associate the two, the country has went thru a patch of pedo-tourism and stamped down on it with a promise of 16 years in a jail cell. "Porn", tho not the same, will have the "aura" attached and doubt this would be welcome. It only takes one idiot to cause complete havoc!
As long as their laws are complied with, they don't give a shit. But having an "industry" here is another story.
