The Chinese are known throughout the world as avid gamblers with a
long history of participation in games of chance. Historians have
documented wagering on such games as far back as the early Chinese
dynasties. Despite measures by ancient Chinese rulers to contain
gambling, it proliferated, and Chinese games have evolved and
multiplied since then. Desmond Lam provides a unique look into the
little-known world of Chinese gambling from historical, cultural,
psychological, and social perspectives. Chinese gamblers regularly
patronize casinos in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The
recent expansion of gambling in East Asia has attracted much global
media attention. Macau, the only place in China where casino
gambling is now legal, easily surpasses Las Vegas as the world's
largest casino gaming market. Each year, Chinese from mainland
China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan account for almost 90 percent of
visitors to Macau. The expansion of the Chinese gambling industry
has brought about much harm to Chinese communities, despite all of
the development it has also stimulated. This book is the first to
examine the beliefs, motivations, attitudes, and behaviors of
Chinese gamblers, and will be of interest to students of history
and sociology, as well as those studying the history and culture of
China.
