Casinos De Juegos Del Mundo: A Survey of World Gambling

Author

  • WILLIAM N. THOMPSON

Abstract

Legalized gambling is expanding throughout the world. There is considerable variation in the patterns of gambling operations found in different places. This article examines the difference between the mass-marketed casinos of North America and the very restricted casinos of Europe. Explanations for the different styles are suggested. Casinos in other developed nations as well as in the less developed nations are also examined, as are lottery operations. It is suggested that the North American pattern, although appealing to entrepreneurs, will not soon be adopted in Europe or in any widespread way in other parts of the world.
