  • What Cyberspace Gambling Prohibition Means to Terrestrial Casino Operators
    Industry Trends: Gaming Leaders Sharing Tips & Tidbits Each issue we feature articles and opinions from gaming insiders, executives and managers who face critical issues every day. We believe this helps balance theory and study with current practices in the casino world. Our special guest for this issue is David Schwartz. David is the Coordinator of the Gaming Studies Research Center at UNLV. In this article, he shares his thoughts about Internet Gaming. A Virtual Pandora's Box: What Cyberspace Gambling Prohibition Means to Terrestrial Casino Operators David G. Schwartz Abstract Recently, there has been increased pressure on the U.S. Congress to act against Internet gambling. While it may be tempting for terrestrial casinos to watch idly as the federal government moves to eliminate a potential competitor, those in the business of gaming must be leery of any federal efforts to halt gambling online. In the final analysis, the same arguments to restrict consumer choice in cyberspace can be easily used against gambling in real casinos-a compelling reason for terrestrial gaming operators to forcefully oppose any federal restrictions on Americans' rights to gamble. Keywords: Internet gambling, funding prohibition, online wagering Introduction The Internet, something that most people never knew they needed, has become in less than a decade a seemingly essential part of everyday life and business. Without the David G. Schwart~, Ph.D. Assistant Professor unfettered access to information, entertainment, and instant communication that the William F. Harrah College Internet provides, life would be profoundly slower, and only the most terminally of Hotel Administration University ofNevada, nostalgic of Luddites would propose dismantling the electronic information highway.

  • The Economic Winners and Losers of Legalized Gambling
    The Economic Winners and Losers of Legalized Gambling Melissa Schettini Kearney Brookings Institution 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036-2103 202-797-6406 [email protected] February 2005 Abstract: This paper reviews the government role in the legalized gambling sector and addresses some of the major issues relevant to any normative analysis of what the government role should be. In particular, the paper reviews evidence identifying the economic “winners” and “losers” associated with the three largest sectors of the industry: commercial casinos, state lotteries, and Native American casinos. The paper also includes a discussion of the growing internet gambling industry. In addition to reviewing existing literature and evidence, the paper raises relevant questions and policy issues that have not yet been adequately addressed in the economics literature. INTRODUCTION In the past three decades, legalized gambling in the United States has grown from a limited activity to one that is extremely commonplace. Gambling in some form is now legal in every state except Hawaii and Utah. Gallup data from 2004 show that two in three Americans report participating in some form of gambling activity in the last 12 months, with state lotteries being the most common. As legalized gambling continues to grow in popularity and prevalence, and new forms of gaming are introduced and expanded, there is much public debate about the costs and benefits of this sector of the economy. The gambling sector has always been viewed as different from other sectors of the economy. Unlike other industries in which the market is the principal determinant of supply and demand, government decisions have largely determined the size and form of the legalized gambling sector in the United States.
