No longer confined to Nevada and Atlantic City, gambling is
cropping up everywhere with astonishing pervasiveness, from the new
Native American casinos to state-run lotteries to the Internet.
Arguing against the idea that a moral case can be made for banning
gambling in a society committed to liberal democratic values,
Collins nonetheless sees a role for furthering public policy goals
and mitigating the ill effects of gambling on communities as well
as on gamblers themselves. Recognizing that governments and
suppliers of gambling services have a common interest in ensuring
that gambling is both profitable and well thought of by the general
population, he argues for tax policies that direct investment
toward communities in special need and for honest and realistic
treatment and prevention programs for compulsive gamblers.
Politicians, civil servants, and regulators concerned with gambling
matters; those in and outside of the gambling industry who seek to
influence it; and students of the gambling industry at all levels
will find this a fascinating look at a growing and controversial
industry.
