Gambling for Profit is a cross-national history of the emergence of legal gambling, including lotteries, gaming machines, and casinos.Gambling for Profit is unique among studies of gambling's twentieth-century growth thanks to Kerry G.E. Chambers's strong analytical framework - investigating not only the political aspects of legalization, but also the sociocultural factors that influence popular adoption. Chambers provides a useful chronological examination of the electronic gambling phenomenon, as well as comparative data on dates of introduction and revenues across twenty-three countries. Gambling for Profit provides a dynamic model to explore the legalization of gambling and stresses the inadequacy of seeking universal explanations for gambling's entrenchment within particular cultures. 606 $aGambling$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aGambling$xSocial aspects 606 $aGambling$xGovernment policy 606 $aGambling$xEconomic aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGambling 615 0$aGambling$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aGambling$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aGambling$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a306.4/82 700 $aChambers$b Kerry$f1958-$0973897 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462455903321 996 $aGambling for profit$92216480 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01720oam 2200541 450 001 9910709692803321 005 20180518143040.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002471304 035 $a(OCoLC)846580821 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002471304 100 $a20130604d2013 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||a|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$a16 cases of mission command /$fgeneral editor, Donald P.
