  • 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.

Patrick McCray Professor Alice O’Connor Professor Paul Spickard June 2019 The dissertation of Brian Patrick Tyrrell is approved. _______________________________________________ W. Patrick McCray _______________________________________________ Alice O’Connor _______________________________________________ Paul Spickard _______________________________________________ Peter Alagona, Committee Chair Bred for the Race: Thoroughbred Horses and the Politics of Pedigree, 1700-2000 Copyright © 2019 by Brian Patrick Tyrrell iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A funny thing happened on the way to this dissertation. 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.
