Many in society think Native Americans are getting rich and are in much better shape because of these casinos. Some studies even how tribes are in much better shape.

The development of tribal casinos or what is commonly referred to as organized gambling can be credited to Native American reservations. Gaming operations have brought phenomenal success to many native tribes in America, and there has been a new dimension to the existing debate regarding Native American sovereignty in organized gambling. There are over 310 casinos ran by about one-third the nations federally recognized tribes, and generate around $10 billion in revenue which is one-sixth of all revenue generated through legal gaming in the country (Evans, Topoleski, 2002).

In the early 1930s, gambling was legalized throughout the state of Nevada and casinos began to flourish (Dunstan, 1997). The economic growth in Nevada, especially the city of Las Vegas, has improved tremendously by the creation of casinos. Many people were employed since the operation of casinos requires a huge amount of labor, skill, and expertise.

As a result, many state governments began to legalize casinos in order to boost their economies and increase employment. As of today, there are roughly 1500 casinos in the United States and they generate almost 65 billion dollars in revenue (“Facts on U.S Casinos” 2013). However, casinos use immoral methods to achieve this incredible feat of big profit with few government interventions.

For example the Mirage has a volcano, Paris has an Eiffel Tower and Treasure Island has a pirate show just to name a few. Do you see a theme? Without a prominent attraction, Harrah's will concentrate on our other features like the reputation of its sister properties, the fun atmosphere, friendly staff and high quality technology to attract its customers.

Political and legal factors are those controlled by ‘governments, local authorities, or other trade or activity orientated regulatory bodies' (Brassington and Pettitt, 2000).

The internet is open to great abuse in all areas of the internet and gambling is no exception. Within five minutes it is possible to be gambling on the internet at as high stakes as one desires, this obviously has its dangers.
