Social Although gambling industry can bring more employment opportunities and offer diversified leisure activities for the public, it could also lead harms. ‘Problem Gambling’ is the main disadvantage that gambling produced, it may result in an increasing number of personal bankruptcy, suicide, crime and child welfare may be ignored and so on (Williams, Rehm & Stevens, 2011). Hence, the Australian Gaming Council formulated the Responsible Gaming regulation to conduct the gambling industry in Australia and reduce the existing and potential harms.

The community and local sheriff’s office in Santa Barbara County and some of the local government officials are having trouble with the idea of the tribal expansion and their selling of alcohol on their gaming floors. Those who oppose the casino’s newest legalization were quoted in the news article in saying that they are more concerned with public safety than anything else. Then, the tribe’s spokesman, Vincent Armenta (2015), has mentioned that Santa Barbara has many other casinos serving alcohol throughout the casino, and that there are several wineries, liquor stores, and bars serving alcohol to public, as well, so why is the Chumash being singled out. However, as it stands right now the tribe has a temporary license to serve alcohol on its gaming floor, and the expansion is still underway. But this is not the only issue to arise for the

Gambling is a common practice throughout human history, one that appeals to the individual’s desire for gain and offers the thrill of risk or uncertainty. Sports gambling is the “wagering of money or other items of value on the outcome of a sporting event, dependent either wholly or in part on chance” (Thompson, 2008, p. 1). Sports gambling generates billions of dollars annually, with large events like the Super Bowl or World Series alone able to generate wagers in the billions of dollars. This research will explore the arguments of those who oppose sports gambling and those who support it in order to answer the question: Should sports gambling be legalized?

The streets of Las Vegas Boulevard, which are littered with advertisements picturing naked girls willing to provide their services for a price, can be a scary place as someone takes a stroll. Drunk men stumble out of strip clubs and casinos, and girls in gaudy clothing and stilettos apply lipstick at their post. Nobody knows when someone lurking in the shadows might pop out with a knife to steal an unsuspecting person’s wallet. Or even worse, a friendly-looking stranger walking in the opposite direction could be waiting to come across the right person to drag into a dark alley, muffle their screams so that their cries for help blend into the noisy background of the streets, and do the

Obviously, a cash-heavy, multi-billion dollar industry that is exempt from corporate federal taxes, such as the Indian casino industry, certainly has great potential for corruption. However, there aren’t many documented cases of actual mafia involvement. It’s the kind of issue that makes for juicy rumors, but there isn’t much evidence to back it up. As time has passed, federal authorities have concluded that there is very little mafia involvement with Indian gaming. For

Over the past 100 years people have gambled on horse races, boxing matches, and card games. It has been in human nature to put a bet on a competative game to try and win money. Gambling today has become even more prominate in our society. All over the internet you can find cites to wager on a game or play poker. The problem people gambling on the internet is the revenue goes to companies who do not live in this country. Creating a place to gamble in all cities would create more revenue for our country. Furthermore, it would create more jobs and then populate smaller cities. To help out this economy we need to legalize gambling in the United States.

Under the Indian Gambling Regulatory Act, the National Indian Gaming Commission was created to enforce the rules in the act the commission has the authority to close Indian gaming operations if they are found to violate the act. The Indian Gambling Regulatory Act has three classifications to regulate the gambling on Indian tribe’s reservations. The first classification contains traditional forms of Indian games and social games. The second classification contains bingo, pull-tabs, which are cards that the stickers are pulled off to see if items match to win, and authorized card games. The third classification is what is not covered under the first and second classifications. The Indian tribes are able t, for the most part, be able to regulate the first and second classifications as long as the tribe informs the state in which the reservation resides. However, the Indian tribes have to get permission from the reservation residing state before they could conduct any gambling that falls under the third classification. An Indian tribe cannot put gambling operations on lands that are in trusts by the Secretary if the Interior for the Indian

Proposition 5 provides the terms of a tribal gaming compact and requires the Governor to permit any tribe to enter into the compact upon request. In general terms, Proposition 5's compact contains fewer restrictions upon tribal gaming than is provided for in the Wilson-Pala Compact and is more protective of Indian sovereignty. The differences relate to such diverse issues as the number of slot machines permitted, the type of games authorized, the degree of state involvement in regulating tribal gaming, employee rights, local community involvement, liability provisions, and the applicability of state health and safety requirements.

Robert Kiyosaki once said, “Successful people take big risks knowing they might fall hard but they might succeed more than they ever dreamed.” This man is a billionaire that hit the jackpot, while gambling. He now owns eleven different businesses and he is worth over eighty million dollars. If someone could learn how to astute, they could live like him too. The articles, The Legalized Gambling Debate, Sports Betting Should be Legal, and Should Sports Gambling be Legal?, all attribute thought to this suggestion. Gambling is a feasible business as it provides revenue, sponsors education, and inspires gamblers.

     Gambling addiction is an issue found in numerous areas where gambling is legal. People who are addicted to gambling, also know as problem gamblers, face many health risks including depression, suicidal thoughts, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, migraine and anxiety in addition to marriage breakdown, problems at work and bankruptcy (9). About 2 percent of adults are thought to be problem gamblers (1). In today’s society this costly addiction is not often considered to be a common problem among those who gamble. Only a small amount of states in the U.S. give enough attention toward this rising problem of people that are sometimes even willing to commit crimes just to aid their addiction. In the past our

Gambling in the words of McLean and Yoder (2005) "means risking something of value, usually money, on an event that has an unknown outcome." In the opinion of the authors, gambling can assume various forms including but not in any way limited to "casino games, betting on sporting events, playing bingo, buying raffle tickets, and playing lotteries" (McLean and Yoder, 2005). Over time, gambling has grown in popularity with the same being legalized in many jurisdictions across the world. However, those opposed to gambling and the legalization of the same continue to cite various reasons in an attempt to backup their assertions. One of the reasons cited by those opposed to gambling according to McLean and Yoder (2005) is that the costs of gambling easily outweigh the benefits associated with the same. This argument advances the idea that the interests of the society override those of an individual. Thus the

Utilitarianism suggests that the act that results in the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of individuals is the option that we should choose. Whether gambling should be deemed as an ethical or unethical act depends entirely on the consequences and benefits gambling has on casinos, gamblers, and non-gamblers. If gambling results in the overall increase of a casino’s profit and the overall increase of a gambler’s profit and mental health, then the act of gambling would be considered ethical. However, if the act has more negative implications than positive, then the act of gambling would be unethical. For example, it would be unethical if the transaction between casinos and gamblers was rigged solely for the casino 's financial benefit while exploiting those who gamble there. The significant concern of this paper is not to point a finger at casinos and other gambling mediums as a means to blame them for the mental conditions of those who we’d consider as gambling addicts. Instead, the point of this paper is to acknowledge the effects of gambling and propose the importance of responsibility. I will present an unbiased view of gambling, paying close attention to the psychological effects and motives individuals have regarding gambling at casinos. Also, I will look at the positive results associated with having a successful casino business, so that allowing gambling is ethical from a utilitarian point of
