A Winning Hand: A Proposal For An International Regulatory Schema With Respect To The Growing Online Gambling Dilemma In The United States, John D. Andrle
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
While a multitude of Internet enterprises folded in the 1990s, online gambling websites not only have held strong, but appear to be ready to increase the stakes. No business relating to the Internet currently generates more revenue than online gambling, and that trend does not look like it will change soon. While many Americans desire to participate in this form of cyber-gambling, the current legality of their ability to do so remains vague. For the most part, an American's ability to gamble currently resides under the purview of state law and a hodgepodge of antiquated federal wire acts. The nature …
The Need For Self Regulation And Alternative Dispute Resolution To Moderate Consumer Perceptions Of Perceived Risk With Internet Gambling, Rohan Miller
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The legislative gaps in international eCommerce and specifically in the gambling industry mean that many consumers face the market condition of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). In terms of consumer psychology, caveat emptor increases consumer perceptions of risk and slows the diffusion of Internet gambling. This paper discusses the specific risks associated with Internet gambling and presents an industry structure designed to off-set consumer perceptions of perceived risk through industry self regulation and alternative dispute management techniques.

Converging web technology allows for Internet gaming operators to expand their markets all over the world. However, appealing to consumers in different countries and regions requires adaptation of websites to the cultural milieu of the various target markets. This paper reviews existing literature on culture and website design and goes on to discuss the impact of culture on designing Internet gaming …

Internet Gambling: An Overview Of Psychosocial Impacts, Mark D. Griffiths, Adrian Parke, Richard Wood, Jonathan Parke
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Technological innovation has always played a role in the development of gambling behaviour, primarily through providing new market opportunities. Early prevalence studies of Internet gambling in the UK, Canada and the US have shown that Internet gambling is not a cause for concern at present However, this seems likely to change as more people start to use the Internet for leisure activities. After a brief overview of gambling technologies and deregulation issues, this paper examines the impact of technology on gambling by highlighting salient factors in the rise of Internet gambling (i.e., accessibility, affordability, anonymity, convenience, escape immersion/dissociation, disinhibition, event …

Internet Casino-Style Gambling: Is It Legal In Nevada?, Marc G. Warren
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The State of Nevada, to retain its position as pace setter in U.S. casino gaming regulation, took important legislative steps to prepare for online gambling. When these legal efforts were discouraged or blocked by the U. S. Department of Justice a new direction emerged. This article traces the shift from implementing online gambling across state lines to intrastate gaming within Nevada with hand-held devices in auxiliary areas of a casino complex beyond the casino floor. Regulatory issues are raised and prospects for inaugurating interactive gaming are discussed.

Change Management: Antecedents And Consequences In Casino Crm, Sudhir H. Kale
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) continues to attract increasing attention within the casino industry. While the vital role of change management in making CRM projects successful has been acknowledged for quite some time, there is little in extant literature to explain the nature and conduct of change management in the CRM context. This article posits that relevant change management is a prerequisite for successful implementation of a casino's CRM. Change management involves five key initiatives: selling change internally, creating an appropriate infrastructure for change management, CRM-relevant training, a reconfiguration of the organization structure and performance assessment measures, and recasting existing incentive …
Assessing The Information Needs Of Australian Gaming Managers, Helen Breen
Assessing The Information Needs Of Australian Gaming Managers, Helen Breen
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
There has been an increased need for gaming managers to source and use relevant information to assist them in managing their venues.

Research into the management of gaming is still in its infancy. This paper reports on a study into the information needs of a selection of gaming managers of clubs, hotels and casinos in two Australian states. This exploratory qualitative research provides in-depth responses from twenty-six gaming managers. These managers report that they want …

An Assessment Of Crime Volume Following Casino Gaming Development In The City Of Detroit, Omar Moufakkir
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This paper examined crime volume in Detroit, Michigan and neighboring communities before, during and after the three Detroit casinos opened. Findings indicated that total Index Crime offenses did not increase in Detroit. However, it appeared that the volume of certain types of crime slightly increased while others decreased.

Profile Of Internet Gamblers: Betting On The Future, Christopher Woodruff, Susan R. Gregory
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
The commercial casino industry in 2002 provided more jobs, higher wages, and more tax revenues to states and local communities than ever before. At the same time Internet gambling sites operated by offshore companies have seen explosive growth since the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1995 (Rose, 2003). This research developed profiles of current land based casino patrons who have gambled on the Internet, those who have not but are willing to try, and those who have not and would not in the future consider Internet gambling. Two hundred surveys were collected at two Detroit, Michigan casinos, asking …

Community Leader Perceptions Of The Social And Economic Impacts Of Indian Gaming, Patricia L. Janes, Jim Collison
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This study assessed perceptions of eight community leaders as to how the area was affected by a major expansion of a Native American casino.

Political Culture And Gambling Policy: A Cross-National Study, William N. Thompson, Carl Lutrin, Asher Friedberg
Political Culture And Gambling Policy: A Cross-National Study, William N. Thompson, Carl Lutrin, Asher Friedberg
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
This paper seeks to find relationships between political culture and policy making on gambling in four jurisdictions, including Nevada and California, two adjacent U.S. States, and also in Great Britain and Israel. While the stages of political culture have not advanced to a tightly knit theory from which an array of testable hypotheses can flow, the concept can be helpful in understanding policy developments in gambling across national borders. Though this discussion leans toward the academic style, it offers a practical approach to cultural sensitivity that casino operatives should consider when expanding to divergent populations in new host communities, to …
Crm In Gaming: It's No Crapshoot!, Sudhir H. Kale
Crm In Gaming: It's No Crapshoot!, Sudhir H. Kale
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, though slightly more than a decade old, has become the management craze of the 21st century. Yet, managerial understanding of what CRM is, what it does, how to implement it, and the grounds for success or failure in CRM implementation, seem far from crystallized. This paper looks at why so many CRM endeavors fail, and proceeds to discuss issues critical to CRM's success. CRM projects in casinos will have a higher chance of success if CRM is viewed as a business philosophy and becomes a part of the corporate culture. Appropriate customer strategy, organizational transformation, …

A Virtual Pandora's Box: What Cyberspace Gambling Prohibition Means To Terrestrial Casino Operators, David G. Schwartz
A Virtual Pandora's Box: What Cyberspace Gambling Prohibition Means To Terrestrial Casino Operators, David G. Schwartz
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Recently, there has been increased pressure on the U.S. Congress to act against Internet gambling. While it may be tempting for terrestrial casinos to watch idly as the federal government moves to eliminate a potential competitor, those in the business of gaming must be leery of any federal efforts to halt gambling online. In the final analysis, the same arguments to restrict consumer choice in cyberspace can be easily used against gambling in real casinos-a compelling reason for terrestrial gaming operators to forcefully oppose any federal restrictions on Americans' rights to gamble.

Using The Critical Incident Technique To Assess Gaming Customer Satisfaction, Lesley Johnson
Using The Critical Incident Technique To Assess Gaming Customer Satisfaction, Lesley Johnson
UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal
Before gaming organizations can initiate efforts to service their customers, they must be able to effectively manage the service encounter. Although every service encounter is not necessarily critical to satisfaction, it is not always obvious which are crucial to the customer and which are not. Using critical incidents reported by gaming customers and employees, this study identifies service encounters that both parties perceive as being very satisfactory or very dissatisfactory from the customer's point of view. Identifying particularly positive and negative customer service experiences can provide direction for management in allocating resources specifically to those areas that maximize customer satisfaction …
