Zusammenfassung: | Over the past forty years, Western governments have increasingly liberalized and deregulated gambling, which is now used to deliver state revenues and commercial profit in many jurisdictions. 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 |

Chambers Toronto University of Toronto Press [2017] © 2011 1 online resource 3 Figures txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed May. 17, 2017) Over the past forty years, Western governments have increasingly liberalized and deregulated gambling, which is now used to deliver state revenues and commercial profit in many jurisdictions. 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 In English Geschichte 1970-2010 gnd rswk-swf Spielbank (DE-588)4056221-9 gnd rswk-swf Lotterie (DE-588)4168184-8 gnd rswk-swf Profit (DE-588)4130631-4 gnd rswk-swf Glücksspiel (DE-588)4021329-8 gnd rswk-swf Öffentliche Einnahmen (DE-588)4139234-6 gnd rswk-swf Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Westliche Welt (DE-588)4079237-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 gnd rswk-swf Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 g Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Glücksspiel (DE-588)4021329-8 s Lotterie (DE-588)4168184-8 s Spielbank (DE-588)4056221-9 s Profit (DE-588)4130631-4 s Öffentliche Einnahmen (DE-588)4139234-6 s Geschichte 1970-2010 z 1\p DE-604 Westliche Welt (DE-588)4079237-7 g 2\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.3138/9781442690080 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
