While most research has examined the legal, economic and
psychological sides of gambling, this innovative collection offers
a wide range of cultural perspectives on gambling organizations.
Using both historical and present-day case studies from throughout
the world, the authors seriously consider the rituals, symbols, the
meanings, values, legitimations, relations (formal as well as
informal), and the spaces and artifacts involved in the
(re)production of gambling organizations. Contributors not only
examine the global influence of commercial gambling, but also
demonstrate how the local qualities of gambling organizations
remain unique. This volume will be of interest to criminologists,
sociologists, anthropologists, and all scholars of gambling.
