With the constitutionality of the Regulations being upheld, controversial permits issued in 2005 for remote betting centers were revalidated and several locations throughout Mexico have established sport books and number draws operations. The Supreme Court ruling has created confusion as to whether online gambling is permitted in Mexico. This article intends to provide an overview of what is and is not permitted under Mexican law. Legal Framework Gambling in Mexico is a federal matter regulated through the Federal Gambling and Raffles Law of 1947 (the “Gaming Law”) which was not amended or restated by the Regulations published on September 17, 2004. The Gaming Law comprises only 17 articles regulating the prohibition of gambling and betting and its exceptions. The Regulations provide guidelines for the authorization, control and surveillance of the games authorized as betting games by the Ministry of with bets and raffles, regulates the issuance of permits, Internal Affairs (“Secretaria de Gobernación” – the the opening of gambling establishments, as well as “Ministry”) through the issuance of permits. remote betting centers, fairs, and various kinds of raffles, except for those conducted by the National As for slot machines (máquinas tragamonedas), the Lottery.

Is On-line Gambling Permitted in Mexico? As Internet gambling is sprouting up, Mexican authorities are struggling to keep up with gaming technology and the gaming industry. In 2005, the government controversially authorized several permits for remote betting centers, better known as “books,” in both Spanish and English, where customers can bet on horse races and other sporting events that take place within the territory or offshore The Supreme Court’s decision, the highest tribunal in Mexico, validated the constitutionality of the remote betting centers insofar as they are establishments that, with the use of new technologies, carry out the same betting activities in horseracing tracks, dog tracks, jai alai frontons, and all types of sport events and games permitted by the Gaming Law with the only difference that in lieu of betting in the place where the events are taking place, individuals can place their bets in remote centers. The central argument was whether the Regulations (complementary authority) were Limitations regulating new activities (remote betting) that Pursuant to the Regulations, permits may only be were outside the scope of the Gaming Law and granted to: therefore against the basic administrative law principles set forth in the Mexican (i) Mexican companies for the establishment and Constitution. operation of betting activities in (x) horseracing tracks, dog-racing tracks, jai-alai courts, remote betting centers The Supreme Court expressly recognized the and bingo rooms, with a maximum term of 25 years; impact of new information and communication and (y) in fairs, with a maximum term of 28 days or a technologies on the gaming industry.

Proposals and measures to legalize casinos have languished for years in the Mexican Congress.

Pursuant to Mexican law, it would allowing casino gambling in Mexico may outweigh the not be possible to claim a prize from an online betting economic benefits (such as development and attraction service that is not licensed in Mexico. to foreign investment, creation of new jobs and increase of tourism). Opponents say casinos will be a haven for In this regard, section 12-III of the Gaming Law imposes money launderers and attract organized crime, drug a prison term of three months up to three years and a trafficking, prostitution and gambling addictions. It is well known that a prohibition policy also has negative effects and encourages the behavior it seeks to curtail. It is no secret that large numbers of illegal gambling halls exist across the country. A far more sensible policy would be to finally legalize casino gambling, including Internet bookmakers. This would allow policies to be put in place that could limit the potential excesses of gambling and minimize the role of criminal elements. Even as politicians continue to argue over both a comprehensive gambling law and the validity of the new licenses, it is anticipated that the growth and explosion in the gaming industry will continue and that entrepreneurs will not wait for the outcome. They will work with the law as it currently stands and will find new means to justify gaming machines by eliminating the element of “chance” so that personal skills determine and control the final result. 1 In this regard Justice José Ramón Cossio stated: “It seems to me much more reasonable to have off-site betting centers that are licensed and controlled by the Ministry than to have people betting on the Internet, which is more difficult to be controlled…” – 4 – Public Green, Private Gold: Opportunities from Climate Change Regulation in the U.S.

  • Countries That Reject Legalized Casino Gambling
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NVG\2-2\NVG203.txt unknown Seq: 1 10-JAN-12 16:03 WHY THEY SAY “NO” (CASI—“NO”): COUNTRIES THAT REJECT LEGALIZED CASINO GAMBLING William N. Thompson* INTRODUCTION Most world venues have legalized casino gambling. Indeed, the numbers of venues has been growing rapidly. In 1986, seventy-seven nations permitted legal casino gambling; in 1996, 109; while recent reports indicate 132 countries have casinos.1 Nonetheless, there are several cases of jurisdictions rejecting the legalization of casinos. This article seeks to find common reasons for the rejections, and examines the following ten venues: Bhutan, Brazil, Japan, Liechtenstein, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, and Norway. The study utilizes a framework from the book The Last Resort: Success and Failure in Campaigns for Casinos, by John Dombrink and William N. Thompson.2 The authors developed a “Veto Model” for explaining why American states rejected casinos in the decades before 1990. Major veto factors influencing casino campaign outcomes included: (1) the economic conditions and state experiences with gambling, (2) the position of political and business elites, and other gaming interests; (3) campaign spon- sorship; and (4) whether the dominant issue in a campaign was economics or crime and social problems. For successful campaigns (e.g. Atlantic City, 1976), all factors had to be supportive of casinos. The model is adaptable for worldwide study. As such, the factors were first presented in a study of Ireland published by the UNLV Gaming Law Jour- nal in its Volume 1, Issue 1 edition. “Luck of the Irish: Will the Casinos Trans- form from Gaelic Grey to Gaelic Green $$” presented the following veto factors: (1) personality factors; (2) poverty; (3) government corruption; (4) ambient violence; (5) lack of nearby casinos; (6) religious opposition; and (7) competition from rival interests.

  • Online Gaming a Gamble Or a Sure Bet?
    INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS & ENTERTAINMENT Online Gaming A Gamble or a Sure Bet? KPMG INTERNATIONAL © 2010 KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. Member firms of the KPMG network of independent firms are affiliated with KPMG International. KPMG International provides no client services. All rights reserved. Foreword For thousands of years, people have been playing games of chance or wagering on the outcomes of various games and events. Today, that activity often takes place at casinos, game parlors, bookmakers and—increasingly—online. The online gaming market represents one of the fastest growing segments of the gambling industry. H2 Gambling Capital, a leading supplier of data and market intelligence on the global gambling industry, puts the size of the global online gaming market at about US$21 billion, hitting US$30 billion by 2012. But that may be just a drop in the ocean, considering that some of the biggest potential markets—such as the U.S., China, Japan, and South Korea—still prohibit many forms of gambling over the Internet. Market prospects could abound in the coming years. While it is difficult to predict political and legislative action, many markets that now ban online gaming could easily change their laws as a means of authorizing what is now an underground economy and increasing tax revenues—something that the current recession may be making more urgent. Another key opportunity may lie in the regions where online gaming is now legal. For example, KPMG firms are now starting to see a shift in online gaming regulations in Europe; state monopolies may now be giving way to privately owned websites, as we see beginning to occur in France, Italy, and Denmark.

Despite my best efforts, I put down roots in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara, a town of 90,000, sits on a narrow spit of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains on California’s Central Coast. It’s just far enough from Los Angeles to make frequent trips to Southern California’s megalopolis impracticable, and its vineyards, beaches, and sky-high real estate prices have earned the city its reputation as the American Riviera. Nothing about the place, in other words, suggested graduate school life. But when I arrived on campus in 2011, I encountered an extraordinary community. For better or worse, during my first years of course work the history department graduate student offices served as a social nexus. Any time day or night at least one of the following people could be found there, either working hard or looking to be distracted.

  • Club Caribe Casino 22
    Club Cartbe Casino ASIAN STUD Asian Stud is similar to Mexican Poker, but there are some notable exceptions. Rules for Asian Stud 1. The ace may be used as a "6" for a small straight "A 7 8 9 10." 2. Unlike Mexican Poker, a flush beats a full house. The winning hands in Asian Stud are (from highest to lowest): 1) Royal Flush, 2) Straight Flush, 3) Four of a Kind, 4) Flush, 5) Full House, 6) Straight, 7) Three of a Kind, 8) Two Pair, 9) One Pair, 10) High Card. 3. All cards 2 through 6 are removed from a regular 52-card deck. Jokers are not used. 4. The player with the highest card showing will be forced to open the pot. This is a "live bet." This player may raise if anyone else fails to do so. 5. Highest hand will initiate the action on a11 subsequent rounds. When there are two hands of equal value, the hand closest to the dealer will act first 6. If the down card for a player is exposed by the house dealer, that player will receive their next card face down. 7. If a player exposes a card, it is not considered an exposed card and said player will be required to keep the card. 8. Iftwo hands are of equal value (example: Player I has an AK and Player 5 has an AK showing), the hand closest to the dealer will initiate the action. (In the example, it would be Player I.) 9. Based on the players' level of skil1, the house dealer will only call open pairs and three of a kind.
