Excerpt from Gambling Outrages: Or Improving the Breed, of Horses at the Expense of Public Morals For years the laws against gambling have been openly violated. Professional gamblers from this and other States have been permitted to go from county to county with their unlawful paraphernalia and ply their schemes of robbery, surrounded by an atmosphere filled with rumors of bribery and corruption of officials. Public sentiment has sustained the enforcement of the laws against these dishonest schemes of getting another's property for nothing in New York and Queens Counties. For years Kings County has unlawfully afforded gamblers opportunity to rob the people and has protected them from punishment. A judge from the bench as far back as June, 1884, proclaimed these violations of law in Gravesend as "flagrant, persistent, and open." Still the warning has been unheeded, the laws ever since have continued to be trampled under foot, and an appeal to the public is rendered necessary. The facts published herein are published because they are facts. It is hoped that a full, frank, and faithful history of these outrages may promote a public sentiment strong enough to secure the rigid enforcement of laws as they now exist, and defeat the infamous attempt to repeal them in the interest of professional gamblers. Does the Empire State belong to gamblers? Have the people no self-respect left? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Why are we outraged? The United States is outraged because no taxes are paid on the $6 billion that is shipped abroad. The misery and expenses that follows internet gambling is distributed among the various states, however.Several solutions to the lack of jurisdiction over internet gambling sites have been proposed. First, the 2006 Act forbids Internet sites from receiving money from U.S. financial institutions and forbids U.S. financial institutions from sending payments to foreign sites. Second, Ryan Landes proposes a voluntary regulation of foreign sites, who agree to reduce underage gambling and fraud, as well as pay taxes. Landes argues that these are the key problems with internet gambling. His proposal reads like a wish list for existing quot;bricks and mortarquot; casinos as it would permit them to own internet gambling sites. My proposal is related, but different.I argue that, if the foreign site agrees to pay taxes and will work to reduce underage gambling and fraud, we will allow their quot;designated employeesquot; to visit the U.S. Pointedly, I do not open the door to American casinos to operate internet gambling sites, nor propose a new agency. In the final analysis, the costs of gambling may exceed its benefits.

The great majority of Americans—more than 80%—say they approve of gambling, even if they themselves don't gamble. Still, deep divisions persist in our attitudes toward the gambling industry. Is it profoundly destructive, preying on human weakness and stripping its victims of their sustenance and dignity? Or is it a vehicle of the American dream—an engine of personal enrichment, enormous public revenue, and economic development? The industry's explosive growth has sharpened the debate, radically altering the gambling landscape and dramatically raising the stakes involved. Author Richard A. McGowan, a respected authority on the public-policy aspects of gambling and other sin industries, reveals the new dynamics of gambling and frames the age-old ethical and practical questions it poses. Whether benefit or bane, gambling today permeates American culture in unprecedented ways. Its newest venues—Native American tribal casinos and the Internet—are drawing in new gamblers in vast numbers and generating spectacular profits. Social, legal, and political controversies inevitably have followed. How should public policymakers approach expanded gambling? As regulator of the gambling industry, government has always been the gatekeeper. Its role and responsibilities remain central to the gambling debate, even while it stands to reap huge windfalls from the very industry it is regulating. Meanwhile, Internet gambling, more or less regulated at home, has found willing government sponsors abroad—removing an ever-larger segment of the industry from U.S. government jurisdiction and recasting the gambling debate. Using this book, citizens can: Learn the ethical and rhetorical framework of the gambling debate. The terms of the arguments advanced by advocates and opponents help explain why the gambling industry has been tolerated or encouraged by public policymakers. Weigh the risks and rewards of government-sanctioned gambling through three actual case studies, from Missouri, Massachusetts, and the Chinese island of Macao—which in 2006 surpassed Las Vegas as the gambling capital of the world. Each situation highlights particular problems and opportunities, and each is presented with discussion questions. Take an informed position: Should sports gambling be legalized? Should U.S. restrictions on Internet gambling be loosened? Should government get out of the gambling business altogether?

What the explosive growth of legalized gambling means socially, politically, and economically for America. Forty years ago, casinos were legal in just one state. Today, legalized gambling has morphed into a $119 billion industry established in all but two states. As elected officials are urging voters to expand gambling’s reach, the industry’s supporters and their impassioned detractors are squaring off in prolonged state-by-state battles. Millions of Americans are being asked to decide: are the benefits worth the costs? With a blend of investigative journalism and poignant narratives of gambling addiction, award-winning journalist Sam Skolnik provides an in-depth exploration of the consequences of this national phenomenon. In High Stakes, we meet politicians eager to promote legalized gambling as an economic cure-all, scientists wrestling with the meaning of gambling addiction, and players so caught up in the chase that they’ve lost their livelihoods and their minds.
