Gambling With The Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, And With The Yankees, Ronald J. Rychlak Oct 2012

Gambling With The Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, And With The Yankees, Ronald J. Rychlak

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

The New York Yankees, arguably the most hallowed name in all of professional sports, has probably had more money wagered on the outcome of its games than any other team in any sport. Although few people today may be aware of it, the team itself has a long history of association with gamblers and gambling. The first owners of the Yankees were notorious gamblers; the team’s first captain was indicted in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal; one Yankees’ pitcher was suspected of having thrown another Series game; one owner had ties to underworld figures in Las Vegas; another owner was …


Changing Public Policy And The Evolution Of Roman Civil And Criminal Law On Gambling, Suzanne B. Faris Oct 2012

Changing Public Policy And The Evolution Of Roman Civil And Criminal Law On Gambling, Suzanne B. Faris

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

In Ancient Rome, gambling, at least in the form of dice games, was generally considered a vice, yet the only known criminal statutes prohibiting it were only sporadically and selectively enforced. Otherwise, aside from a legal prohibition on the enforceability of gambling debts and some limited private rights of action, the Roman state as a whole displayed what can only be described as a “laissez faire” policy toward all forms of gambling. What we would now call “sports betting” was exempted from the statutory prohibition altogether. This remained the case well into the Christian period, when a general crackdown might …


The Legality Of Banning Online Gambling In South Africa: Is Online Gambling Not A Component Of Gambling?, Segoane Lawrence Monnye Oct 2012

The Legality Of Banning Online Gambling In South Africa: Is Online Gambling Not A Component Of Gambling?, Segoane Lawrence Monnye

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

In light of the potential income generating capability of online gambling and its perceivable threat to location based gambling, this Article examines the legality of banning online gambling despite the promulgation of the National Gambling Amendment Act, which is intended to legalize online gambling, and the constitutional implications of such ban. Part II examines the definition of gambling to argue that online gambling is a mere component of gambling. Part III provides the current legal framework governing gambling and its application to online gambling. Parts IV and V focus on the overall purpose of this Article, i.e. to scrutinize the …


The History Of Internet Cafés And The Current Approach To Their Regulation, Marc W. Dunbar, Daniel R. Russell Oct 2012

The History Of Internet Cafés And The Current Approach To Their Regulation, Marc W. Dunbar, Daniel R. Russell

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

This Article will examine the rise of Internet cafés by tracing their gambling roots back to the early evolution of gray market slot machines, such as mint dispensers, up to more modern pull-tab machines. It will also provide an overview of how local governments, state regulators, attorneys general, and state legislatures are dealing with the spread of Internet cafés and the “simulated gambling machines” played therein. Finally, it will offer some options to communities faced with these gambling operations when state laws provide insufficient guidance, regulation, or law enforcement to address the legitimacy of these operations.
