This book is a study of the British casino industry and how it has
been shaped by criminality, prohibition, regulation and
liberalization since the beginning of the First World War. The
reader will gain a detailed knowledge of the history, culture,
identity and participants within the British casino industry, which
has, to date, escaped the attention of a dedicated historical and
criminological investigation. This monograph fills this gap in
inquiry while drawing on primary source material that has not been
used previously, including, but not confined to, records in the
National Archives relating to the Gaming Board of Great Britain and
the Metropolitan Police. In addition to archive material, oral
histories, newspapers, published journals and books have been
utilised and referenced where appropriate. Envisaged to close a gap
in historical research, this book will be of interest to
historians, criminologists, regulators, students and individuals
interested in gambling, society and cultural history.
