Abstract
This paper explains that, having been between legal and illegal for part of its existence and, at times, closely connected to the Mafia, lately, the image of the casino gambling industry has changed, combining gambling with entertainment and unusual architecture to attract larger numbers of consumers. The author points out that the amount of money people spend on a trip to Vegas or a simple evening in a casino is directly related to the income level of the population; therefore, the economic component of the market has the greatest impact on the casino gambling industry. The paper relates that an important target market is professional gamblers, who are generally rich or very rich persons, who regularly spend large amounts of money at the tables, who enjoy luxurious treatment, and who are most likely to go to the casinos at Monte Carlo rather than Los Vegas.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The demographic component does not actually affect the casino gambling industry. Perhaps only in terms of an ascendant trend in population growth, which would mean a higher probability that people may go gambling. Another opportunity, however, is provided by an increase of families. I am asserting this because, in the last years at least, it is ever more often that family groups go to cities like Vegas or Atlantic City and spend an amount of money on gambling. As for the geographical distribution, referring here to a urban or rural distribution, it is often the case that urban people gamble more in casinos than rural dwellers. As such, an increase in the number of people who live in the city will certainly be considered an opportunity."

Abstract
This paper shows that gambling is a legitimate industry, using the 'bathtub model,' and analyzes its ultimate effects with input-output modeling. It investigates government regulation of the industry and analyzes its effects and the necessity of regulation, also examining moral and legal objections. The paper is well researched and relies heavily on expert opinion to prove the viability of the gaming industry.
From the Paper
"People have had demand for the act of gambling (as well as aversion to it) for many ages. The distant past held gambling in the esteem of being communication from the gods, in whose eyes a lucky gambler held favor (Encarta 2002). Not much has changed, as people still recognize the exceptionality of 'beating the odds,' and the foolishness of expending too many resources in attempt to do so. By nature, the act adversely affects many personal finances; the industry, into which it has developed in modern day America, though, should not be so simply evaluated. This paper will explore the gaming industry's value by questioning its role in the American economy."

"Aside from showing how this industry contributes to Las Vegas' structure, this report will also look at elements of the commodity city and the landscape as it is organized around consumer desires, particularly in terms of the recent Wynn developments in the city being commodity spectacles. The report will also look at Las Vegas as a place of consumption, focusing on economic factors which again link the
gaming and entertainment industry to Las Vegas as a city in terms of its essential structure. "

"Harrah's is a well managed company that is has moved to the extreme top of the gambling and gaming industry. It is has accomplished this through a series of strategic acquisitions including its purchase of Caesars as well as its move into the Asia-Pacific Rim. It is clear that Harrah's is intent on not only increasing profitability but in returning value to shareholders over the long-term and that is why this would be a strong investment target. Additionally, Harrah's sound management indicates that it would be a positive place to work with much room for growth and advancement given its diverse operations. Furthermore, because Harrah's values customer service and, in fact, relies on its customer service to ensure revenue continuity, it could be said that customer service is actually Harrah's primary line of business and that all its other activities are pursuant to its treatment of its guests."

From the Paper
"Introduction:
In recent years, various Indian tribes have turned to casino-type gambling operations as a way to generate revenues and to overcome the deep-seated unemployment facing many tribes. Various commentators have noted the sudden growth of legalized gambling on Indian reservations. This shift also can be considered a sign of the sweeping shift in public morality that is under way in virtually every municipality, Indian and non.Indian, across the country as gambling has become an acceptable form of mass.market entertainment. In 1992 Americans spent more on legal games of chance than on films, books, amusement attractions, and recorded music combined; in that same year Americans spent three times as much money at Indian gambling casinos as on movie tickets (Magnuson, 1994, 169). Some of the.."

Abstract
This paper states that, immediately after September 11, the negative impact of that day?s horrible terrorist attacks was felt in the gaming industry especially in casinos that are dependent on air travel which decreased markedly. The author feels that, even during tough economic times, Americans tend to gamble more. The paper cites various stock analysis reports that are favorable to the industry.
From the Paper
"Newer, alternative destinations for casinos, however, have helped other gaming industry companies. Slot machine companies like International Game Technology (IGT) have prospered since September 11. As Christopher Palmeri writes, ?Tough economic times often prompt states to seek new sources of revenue, such as casinos. The 1970s brought Atlantic City, and the early 1990s saw riverboat gambling spread in the Midwest. Casino gambling is now being considered in eight states, most notably New York, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky.?

Abstract
This paper describes the games of lacrosse and Plum Stone Dice as important examples of the religious and cultural significance of warrior youths and tribal life for Native Americans. The paper discusses the history of the games and the purpose of them being played in the Native-American culture.
From the Paper
"Religion Studies: Understanding the Religious and Cultural Premise of Gambling and Gaming in Native American Culture This study will examine the nature of gambling and gaming within North American communities and tradition. The current rise of gaming casinos in many Indian reservations has reached an all time high, but this is not without a long religious and cultural tradition of gaming within these communities. In essence, the phenomenon of Native American gaming and gambling has long been a part of their culture through dice games and lacrosse that rely on religious principles and ceremonial tradition."

American-Indians and Gambling, 2000.
The historical, cultural, legal and economic issues of efforts by the New York and Southern CA tribes to institute gaming.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 8 sources, AU$ 112.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"In the 1980s the possibility of legal gambling on Indian reservations emerged as a potential means for many Native American peoples to revitalize their societies and pull themselves out of the dependency and poverty that reservation life had brought them. There were many variations in the process of instituting gambling on the reservations--but the primary differences were in the reactions and the efforts of the many tribes. Two examples of Native American groups who sought to institute gaming on a sufficient scale to revitalize their economies were the Mohawk of northern New York and the numerous tribes of southern California. In New York a terrible "Mohawk civil war," as the popular phrase put it, tore apart the Akwesasne, Kahnawake, and Kanesatake reservations (Johansen xxi). But in California the battle over gambling pitted the..."

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.
A Critique of Jack Weatherford's "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World."
1,495 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 77.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

"Inside Game/Outside Game", 2005.
A review of David Rusk's book, "Inside Game / Outside Game: Winning Strategies for Saving Urban America".
1,481 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 76.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Rusk's book is an insightful and well-researched addition to the current understanding of urban management and public administration. The writer explains that Rusk argues convincingly that improvement in inner city neighborhoods can only come from a coordinated effort that includes regional approaches to reducing suburban growth, the concentration of poverty, and financial differences.
From the Paper
"In Inside Game / Outside Game, Rusk argues for reform of metropolitan regions based on the interrelationship between urban management and management of other, outside concerns, like taxation, suburban growth, and housing practices. Rusk argues that revitalization of neighborhoods, affordable housing, preservation of open space and fiscal policy reform are closely related. As such, changes in factors like taxation or housing practices can have a profound effect in urban neighborhoods."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The issue of the legalization of casino gambling in the state of New York involves a number of concerns on the part of legislators and the public. Such matters as the possible involvement of organized crime, the impact of institutionalized gambling on society, the impact on existing forms of gambling, the impact on state revenues of casino gambling, and questions about employment, as well as the effect on social services, moral issues, and so on. The state can look to nearby states for evidence of what happens when casino gambling is adopted, since both Connecticut and New Jersey provide such evidence and can serve as models for what could happen in New York both positively and negatively. Casino gambling is recommended as a way of raising money for various state programs through the power of ..."

Regulating Internet Gambling, 2008.
This paper examines the structure, revenue gain and government legislature surrounding the Internet gambling industry.
735 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper focuses on the regulatory framework for Internet gambling in order to determine if there exists an optimal solution to regulating versus banning gambling on the Internet. The paper reveals that, although Internet gambling is seen as a social cost, regulated Internet gambling could be a viable source of tax revenue for many states.
From the Paper
"As technological advances increase and the world becomes more interconnected, the framework of gambling has begun to change. The prevalence of internet gambling is astounding, and provides elements that were absent in conventional gambling arenas (Rose 134). However, as this trend continues, there are some very important questions to be answered. How is internet gambling regulated, in wake of the fact that this is done via the web? How is State revenue affected by these non-state gambling operations?"

Michigan's Gaming Industry, 2004.
Examines the influence that American Indian tribes have on the gaming industry.
7,522 words (approx. 30.1 pages), 12 sources, MLA, AU$ 259.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the history of the involvement of Indian tribes in Michigan's gaming industry, government involvement in the industry, and relevant laws enacted. The paper also considers the impact the Indian tribes and their connection to the gaming industry has had on the political scene and the attempts of both political parties to woo the Indian vote by supporting the efforts of various tribes in maintaining and increasing their control of the gaming industry.
From the Paper
"For long, the gaming industry in Michigan has been influenced by the Indian tribes and their constant demands. Over time, regulatory bodies have promulgated various laws detailing gaming procedures and conduct. With the passage of time, the legislature has been from time to time modified so as to accommodate the various demands of Indian tribes. Of late, efforts have been made to usher in public casinos. This has had its serious share of repercussions. In the bargain, public legislative and regulatory bodies have had to perform a balancing act satisfying both advocates of Indian gaming and public gaming outfits. While this has caused a storm in the tea cup, it has also been responsible for steady erosion of the Indian support towards the public legislature. On the whole the economy has due to this move, had its share of fortunes and losses."

Solutions to Gambling Related Crime, 2005.
A discussion regarding gambling, gambling related crime and possible solutions to resolve gambling addiction.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, AU$ 83.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of gambling related crime and solutions to the problem. The paper discusses historical evidence that society has never been directly involved in ending the issue, and that over time gambling has become more apparent in society, and with it, so has gambling related crime.
From the Paper
"Throughout history gambling has been an inclusion in society that has elicited concern from many, and indifference from others. Politicians have traditionally conceded the fact that gambling as a public recreation has caused some difficulties in the masses. They have even discussed the fact that they believe that gambling might be acceptable - as long as only those that possess the wealth to support their bets practice gambling. As casinos have now been constructed in many States in America, those closest to these gambling institutions address the issue of gambling related crime almost daily. However, politicians, and government officials contend that there is not enough evidence to support programs that are State, or Federally funded which would reduce, or stop gambling related crime, or provide solutions to those who wish to escape their addictions."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the overall characteristics of e-commerce and relates e-commerce to the gambling industry. More specifically, the paper examines the relationship between e-commerce and online gambling and the impact that e-commerce has had on essentially creating this industry segment. The consumer profile is examined for this industry and future predictions for the industry are made relative to e-commerce influences.
From the Paper
"Corporations the world over have utilized e-business or some aspect of electronic commerce (e-commerce) to either act as their sole business model or to enhance the productive performance in some way of their existing traditional business models. E-commerce might be considered as a type of business transaction where the parties to the transaction conduct their commerce electronically where electronically has come to be associated primarily with the Internet (Epstein, 2004, pp.17-24). Yet, technically speaking, e-commerce could just as well be considered to be transacted by phone, fax, or other electronic form of media."
