Gambling in Atlantic City finds few takers

In the 20 years he's worked on the Atlantic City boardwalk, Joe Lochs has never seen business this bad.
Lochs, 54, makes his living giving rides to casino patrons in a "rolling chair", a three-wheeled, wicker-sided buggy that he pushes up and down the boardwalk between casinos, shops and restaurants.
In good times, he can make $1,000 a week but since the beginning of winter, business is off by around 60 percent, and some days, there is no work at all.
