- catalog abstract "Designed to serve as a one-stop information source and guide to in-depth exploration, this volume examines legalized gambling and the civic and personal issues at stake. From local economics and crime to problem gamblers and religious beliefs, all of the key issues in the political debate are explored. The work also provides a historical look at the gaming industry and its dynamic spread across the United States and Canada in many forms, including casinos, state lotteries, charity bingo games, pari-mutuel betting, and, more recently, video poker. Profiles of investors, operators, and players are included as well as a detailed chronology, facts, statistics, legislation, an annotated bibliography, and a listing of gaming-industry and related government organizations. This volume provides solid, useful information that can serve as a foundation for decision making, research, and enhanced understanding of this controversial subject. Legalized Gambling: A Reference Handbook is part ABC-CLIO's award-winning Contemporary World Issues series. Other books in the series deal with issues such as health care, abortion, terrorism, recycling, AIDS, homelessness, sexual harassment, rainforests, and intellectual freedom.".
