Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (p. 169-174).
As the stigma of gambling fades and governments seek more sources of revenue the urban casino is becoming more common. Many of these are legalized to operate with limited competition in their state, standing alone in their respective city. while the general, diffuse impacts of casinos have been well studied, the paucity of casinos in urban settings has left a gap in the understanding of how stand-alone casinos affect their urban context. This thesis seeks to fill this gap by analyzing three of the oldest stand-alone urban casinos in the United States: Harrah's Casino in Joliet, Harrah's Casino in New Orleans, and Greektown Casino in Detroit. The thesis analyzes the impact of each of these casinos through the lens of five categories of impact: urban design of the neighborhood, city investment, real estate development, street-level commerce, and the residential community. The resulting analysis finds that casinos tend to be insular entities that do not impact much outside their own footprint. Their greatest potential for external impacts is an ability to act as an anchor for street-level commerce in a neighborhood if designed properly, a trend that has been observed for some time in resort communities with fake interior streets. The essay concludes with recommendations on how a city might engender a similar phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Gestão e Planeamento em TurismoO presente trabalho tem por objectivo principal avaliar as percepções e as atitudes dos residentes do Concelho de Espinho face à existência de um casino. A concretização deste objectivo implicou a realização de uma reflexão teórica, a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, numa primeira instância sobre as percepções dos impactes do turismo, e seguidamente uma pesquisa específica sobre as percepções dos impactes do casino, um produto característico do turismo. Implicou ainda a análise dos modelos que têm sido utilizados para avaliar as atitudes dos residentes face ao desenvolvimento dos casinos. Com base nesta reflexão teórica foi construído um modelo de investigação que pretende avaliar os factores que influenciam as percepções dos impactes do casino e a atitudes dos residentes em relação a esta estrutura. A avaliação do modelo de investigação proposto foi concretizada através da sua aplicação ao Concelho de Espinho, um município da Região do Norte de Portugal. Esta tarefa implicou a aplicação de um inquérito por questionário aos residentes desta região. Através da administração directa foram obtidos 222 questionários nos meses de Julho a Outubro de 2010. O questionário incluía questões relacionadas com o perfil sócio-demográfico dos residentes, a percepção dos impactes e as atitudes e comportamentos face a esta estrutura vocacionada para o jogo. Os resultados que emergem desta investigação permitem observar que globalmente os residentes do concelho de Espinho consideram que o casino tem impactes positivos, nomeadamente em termos económicos, mas revelam-se atentos aos seus custos socio-culturais, como por exemplo o aumento de viciados em jogo, a destruição familiar e a corrupção política. No que diz respeita às suas atitudes face ao casino, o estudo identificou que os residentes que percepcionam beneficios individuais ou colectivos desta actividade, são mais susceptíveis de apoiar o seu desenvolvimento e sentem orgulho e satisfação pela existência desta estrutura no seu concelho. Verifica-se ainda que os inquiridos que têm o hábito de frequentar os casinos, enquanto estrutura de jogo ou de animação, consideram esta indústria tão boa para trabalhar como qualquer outra e senten-se também orgulhosos e satisfeitos pela sua existência. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo permitem, também, concluir que os principais factores que influenciam as atitudes dos residentes face ao casino são: a dependência económica do residentes, ou de familiares e amigos, da actividade do casino, o conhecimento sobre a actividade do casino e do turismo, e a percepção dos impactes do casino, a nível individual e colectivo. Observa-se que os residentes percepcionam que os benefícios líquidos são elevados, no entanto é necessário dar especial atenção aos impactes negativos percepcionados, principalmente os socio-culturais, na medida em que estes são largamente identificados, por residentes de todas as idades, géneros, habilitações académicas, e níveis de rendimento.
The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes of residents about the existence of a casino in the Espinho municipality. To achieve this objective a theoretical reflection was undertaken, supported by a bibliographic research about the following topics: characterization of the casino industry, host’s perceptions of casino impacts and host’s attitudes towards casinos. Several models discussed in the literature to assess host’s perceptions of tourism impacts and host’s attittudes towards tourism were analysed. Based on these theoretical reflections, a research model to identify the factors that influence the host’s attitudes towards casinos was proposed. The research model was empirically tested in the Espinho minicipality, an area in the North of Portugal. In order to accomplish this objective, a resident survey was undertaken, between July and October of 2010, resulting in 222 residents interviewed The questionnaire included questions related to the sociodemographic profile of the residents, as well as the perceptions of casino impacts and their attitudes towards this activity. The results obtained reveal that, globally, the Espinho’s residents consider that the casino has positive impacts, mainly in economic terms, but they are, also, paying attention to the social and cultural costs, such as the increase of gambling addiction, family destruction, and political corruption. In relation to their attitudes towards the casino, the study identified that the residents who perceived individual and group benefits of this activity are more likely to support the development of this activity and feel proud and satisfaction for the existence of this structure in the municipality. The results obtained, also, reveal that the residents who attend the casino, as a game or an animation structure, considered that this sector is as good as any other, and feel proud and satisfaction for its existence. Further, the study shows that economic dependence from the casino, knowledge about casino and tourism practices and the perception of individual and group benefits were the most important factors that influence host’s attitudes towards the casino. It was also showed that the quantity of residents who perceived benefits is elevated but it is necessary to pay special attention to the negative impacts, as far as social and cultural costs are concerned, since they are largely identified by all residents, despite their age, gender, academic skills and their monthly income.

Full textAbstract:
Les casinos n'ont d'existence juridique que depuis le début du XXème siècle. En effet, l'attitude originelle indifférente puis réticente des pouvoirs publics vis à vis de ces établissements de jeux, s'est lentement transformée en une réelle prise en charge motivée des intérêts où dominent la rentabilité. Dans ce décor où les exigences économiques supplantent le respect de la morale, les établissements de jeux de hasards, sont aujourd'hui, au carrefour d'une diversité de droits. Cette recherche interdisciplinaire a pour objet de démontrer que les casinos, désormais encadrés par une règlementation, exercent une nouvelle fonctionnalité en tant que services publics communaux. Elle se divise en trois parties successivement consacrées à la gestion d'un statut juridique propre aux casinos, à leur contrôle puis à leur rôle économique et culturel. . .

The number of casinos has grown substantially since 1990 as states and localities try to find new tax revenue and jobs. After some initial successes across the United States and Canada, the strategy has become even more popular. With a business so dependent on tourists, how has the spread of casino gambling affected the returns communities get from hosting casinos? Broadly speaking when neighboring areas pursue the same economic development strategy, is any economic development actually occurring or are benefits just being transferred from one to the other? This analysis addresses that question and provides some preliminary evidence. Casinos have positively impacted economic conditions at the county level, though the benefits are strongest in the early stages of the casino's existence. Competition with other casinos has had negative effects on the tax revenue individual casinos pay to states. More importantly, casino competition has negatively affected economic development impacts of existing casinos, though in most cases the net benefits are still positive.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis 1987, les jeux de casino se sont profondément transformés, tout comme leur image. Autrefois stigmatisée par la dénonciation des ravages du jeu, cette pratique est devenue un loisir, individuel ou collectif, tout à fait acceptable. La législation des machines à sous en 1987 a permis l'industrialisation des casinos. Elle a marqué un tournant décisif pour ces établissements qui sont devenus des espaces où se développe une forme spécifique de sociabilité. Cet espace est organisé à l'aide de techniques de marketing très élaborées que l'on retrouve dans les parcs de loisirs ou les clubs de vacances par exemple. Elles concourent à faire des casinos un nouvel espace communicant. Les casinos présentent des enjeux économiques importants et un apport non négligeable pour les finances publiques, ce qui pousse souvent les dirigeants politiques à les soutenir en dépit d'oppositions morales et sociales. Enfin, les casinos sont devenus un instrument du développement local en s'intégrant à l'industrie touristique : ils deviennent ainsi un moyen supplémentaire de promotion du territoire qui les accueilleSince 1987, casino games and the general image of casinos have gone through a profond change. Where previously, this type of activity was stigmatized by the potential damage it could lead to, it has now become an individual or collective leisure, socially acceptable. The slot machines legalization in 1987 brought about an industrialisation of casinos and this underlined a turning point for these firms. They became places that develop a specific form of sociability. The casino layout is now organized using appropriate marketing techniques which can also be found in the recreation parks or clubs for example. These marketing techniques are building the casino as a new place for communication. But casinos represent high economic stakes and an important source of income for the public finances. This is the main reason why governements legalize them despite the moral and social objections. Last but not least, casino has become instrumental in local development as it is now part of the tourist industry ; Where more often they are considered as a means to promote the area where they are established

Full textAbstract:
Apparently, gambling seems to be valued as a leisure activity and a form of entertainment in many parts of the world. Public attitudes toward gambling have shifted from viewing it as a vice to treating it as an opportunity to exploit (Eadington 1997, 2000). Relaxation of constraints on existing commercial gaming activities and legislative change in authorising gambling has occurred extensively. The proliferation of casinos makes people perceive gambling as a legitimate activity and as an economic hope. According to Pizam and Pokela (1985), casino gambling however is a controversial tourism development strategy. Eadington (1986) also points out that legalised gambling causes economic and social changes in communities and changes their image. Thus, both the character and reputation of the community may be altered as a result of initiating casinos as a tourist attraction.
The legalisation of gambling has been a subject of considerable debates in Thailand for a decade and it has been brought into the cabinet�s meeting from time to time. Some politicians and academic scholars suggest that casinos should be introduced as a tourism development strategy to combat the country�s economic and financial crisis. Many people are attached to strong belief that gambling is a sinful activity. It is inherently immoral and contrary to accepted family and social values. It is a voluntary regressive tax in which its effects fall most heavily on lower-income groups. It is morally wrong, and can cause an addiction that is often linked to personal and family tragedies. It also attracts criminal activities and political corruption (Piriyarangsan et al. 2003; Cornwel-Smith 2005). As social acceptance of casino gambling has globally increased, this research aims to gauge hospitality management perspectives on gambling and casino tourism. The focus of the paper is to investigate hospitality executives� attitudes towards relationship between Thai tourism and casino gambling; to explore their views on casino legalisation and regulation; as well as to examine their opinions about casino impacts, operation and management if casinos are legalised in Thailand.
Mail questionnaires were carried out during September 2003 - February 2004, resulting in 212 returns of respondents. Then, 18 semi-structured interviews with hotel and tour executives, politicians, policemen, government officials, directors of social service organisations and religious leaders were undertaken in May - July 2005 to acquire more insights into the issues. A combination of quantitative and qualitative data indicates that Thai people have mixed feelings about casino tourism. Although quantitative findings show hospitality group welcome the idea, but they do not want it in their own backyard. Qualitative results are more in opposition. Majority of interviewees hold the differing views. The study concludes that casinos gambling may function simply as a value added or an enhancement to a destination in Thailand, not a main tourism attraction. It is strongly suggested that casino gambling and Thai tourism industry should not be connected. Instead, �Thai� hospitality and cultures should be promoted as a unique tourism product of Thailand.

Full textAbstract:
Relatively little is known about Canadian casino employees. The present study is a broad-based investigation intended to shed some light on this population. There were several specific areas of investigation. These included job satisfaction, substance use and abuse, gambling behaviour, gambling attitudes and beliefs, and problem gambling status. Because of this high-risk group’s excessive exposure to gambling, casino employees’ gambling behaviour may be indicative of the general adult population’s future gambling behaviour. Although there is some prior evidence of higher rates of problem gambling in this population, the causal direction of this relationship is not well established. That is, does working in a casino place employees at a higher risk for problem gambling, or does the industry actually attract problem gamblers?
The present study investigated the characteristics of 123 Canadian casino employees from two Alberta casinos. The study aimed to establish the actual impact of casino employment on substance use and gambling behaviour by means of a follow-up questionnaire that was distributed six months after the baseline questionnaire was collected. The results of the follow-up questionnaire tentatively suggest that problem gamblers are attracted to the casino industry, rather than the casino industry placing its employees at a higher risk for problem gambling. The study also found that Northern Albertan casino employees have higher rates of smoking, alcohol use, illicit drug use, medication use, gambling, and problem gambling than the general Albertan workforce.viii, 140 leaves ; 29 cm. --

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how gambling and gambling-like practices are increasingly mediated by digital technologies. Digital gambling brings gambling closer to the practices and features of videogames, as audiovisual simulations structure users’ experiences. New forms of digital gambling have clear political implications and institute new economic dynamics, as operators increasingly rely on the exploitation of constant interaction, as well as fostering compulsive play. By studying digital gambling from media studies, videogame and cultural studies approaches, this thesis offers a new critical perspective on the issues raised by computer-mediated gambling, while expanding our perspective on what media and gambling are. Current research on gambling practices and markets in disciplines such as psychology, sociology and law has positioned wagering as an exceptional activity because of its association with problem gambling, taxation and financial loss. The increasingly malleable nature of digital gambling media complicates these understandings. Digital gambling and play take a number of shapes: state-of-the-art slot machines, desktop platforms and mobile apps for smartphones and tablets. These cultural forms involve both gambling companies such as Aristocrat and IGT, and videogame companies such as Atari and Zynga. Digital gambling products are consumed by millions of users, primarily in Australia, Europe and North America. In contemporary forms of digital gambling, many users have a gambling or gambling-like experience with or without real money involved. Consumers pay with money and/or labour and/or time and/or access to their digital social networks and contacts. These dynamics represent a significant departure from previous gambling studies, which only consider gambling as those games that involve real money and are demarcated from everyday life. The development of digital gambling sees new cultural forms, including gamble-play media (gambling and gambling-like platforms constructed as videogames), the procedure-image (images that articulate interactive rhetoric), mobile social gambling (the practice carried out through social casino apps) and gambling-machines (an iteration of Deleuze and Guattari’s desiring-machines). Digital gambling operates through assemblages that are materially heterogeneous and increasingly deterritorialised. Through a selection of case studies – including the 3D online casino PKR, the mobile apps Slotomania and Slots Journey, the Electronic Gaming Machine market in New South Wales, Australia, and the online casinos PokerStars and 888 – this thesis analyses the interplay between various digital gambling assemblages and their relations to other media such as videogames and social networking sites.

En la sociedad nos encontramos con un sinfín de empresas, de diversos tamaños y rubros. Empresas que fueron creadas con la finalidad de no solo ser rentables sino competitivas. Buscan el crecimiento, la expansión, es decir: El éxito. Para poder alcanzar el éxito, uno de los factores más importantes es el compromiso de todos los miembros de la organización desde el encargado de limpieza hasta el Jefe de Directorio o Gerente general. Otro factor para llegar al éxito empresarial es la motivación laboral, tema importante que muchas empresas lo utilizan muy bien y les permiten ir descubriendo nuevos líderes que con su aporte resuelven problemas o deficiencias que la empresa afronte, teniendo como resultado una óptima administración. Por ello, realizamos la investigación del nivel motivacional de los trabajadores de la cadena de Casinos Rico Mac Pato de la ciudad de Lambayeque y Jaén con el objetivo de desarrollar una propuesta de mejora del nivel motivacional basada en la teoría ERC. La investigación se basó en entrevistas exploratorias que permitieron determinar la situación problemática actual de la empresa que da sustento a éste estudio, seguido de una investigación descriptiva realizada a través de encuestas basada en la Teoría ERC de Alderfer, las mismas que se realizaron a todos los trabajadores en sus diversas áreas que son: Gerencia, Administración, contabilidad y atención al cliente. Después de la recolección, procesamiento, selección, organización e interpretación de datos, concluimos que existe una deficiencia en el nivel motivacional de los trabajadores de la cadena de Casinos Rico Mac pato de la ciudad de Lambayeque y Jaén. Por lo tanto es necesario fortalecer el vínculo laboral entre trabajadores y superiores para mejorar el desempeño dentro de la empresa logrando el crecimiento y desarrollo personal y profesional.Tesis

There is a growing trend to liberalisation of the gambling industry around the world. This originated during the late 1980s in the USA. The European Commission is currently considering policies that might standardise regulations in the industry across the EU, while governments in several Asian countries have been considering legalisation of casinos faced with the rapid growth of gaming.

This study aims to analyze the social representations of different institutional leaders regarding the casino customers, their main motivations and role of the casino in daily life. The methodology was qualitative - phenomenological using semi-structured interviews. Participants were eight leaders of religious, political, and mental health institutions, and government officials. The results show that adult women are represented as the group with greater presence in the casinos. Loneliness and pathological gambling are part of the social representation of the players, with variations according to the institution that the leaders represent. The relevance of generating investigative processes that expand the concept of the games in casinos and impact on public health policies and socioeconomic development is discussed.El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las representaciones sociales de diferentes líderes insti tucionales en torno a los clientes de los casinos, sus motivaciones principales y el papel del casino en la cotidianidad.

Full textAbstract:
Las empresas de Casinos han presentado problemas con el Sector Bancario desde
hace varios años, ello se debe al alto grado de incidencia de prácticas de lavado de
activos dentro de estos establecimientos, motivo por el cual han sido catalogados como
blancos fáciles.
Por otro lado, las entidades bancarias con el animus de preservar sus intereses dentro
ellos su reputación, han optado por establecer políticas de índole interna, donde han
señalado taxativamente las actividades económicas consideradas riesgosas en sí
mismas, dentro de las cuales encontramos a los Casinos. Esta clasificación ha traído
como consecuencia directa que no sean sujetos de crédito, inclusive algunas entidades
bancarias han restringido la prestación de servicios bancarios, impidiendo cualquier tipo
de vinculación comercial.
Esta situación ha generado graves perjuicios a las empresas de Casinos; ya que han
sido apartados del Sistema Financiero, constriñéndoles a buscar mecanismos
alternativos que les permitiera seguir desempeñando su actividad comercial de manera
normal.
Frente a las adversidades reportadas por la Industria de Casinos, consideramos
necesario incorporar mecanismos legales, que permitan demostrarle a los Bancos que
los Casinos cumplen con las medidas de prevención de lavado de activos y
financiamiento del terrorismo. En este sentido, proponemos que las empresas de
Casinos refuercen su Sistema de Prevención de lavado de Activos y Financiamiento del
terrorismo, así como también la incorporación de prácticas de Buen Gobierno
Corporativo; toda vez que esto permite la generación de un valor añadido para las

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: For the purposes of this study the term "gambling" refers only to casino style gambling and does not necessarily include horse racing and the national lottery. The study is partly based on the theoretical model for policy analysis as described by Dunn in his book "Public Policy Analysis" (1994). The thesis is divided into two sections. The first section deals mainly with the stage of monitoring and is a retrospective analysis of the development of the gambling industry in seventeenth and eighteenth century Venice and more recently in the United States, Australia, Namibia and South Afiica prior to 1994. The last section deals mainly with the stage of policy evaluation and questions the possible discrepancies between the expected and actual gambling policy performance in the Western Cape after 1994 when large scale gambling was legalised throughout the country. It uses the recommendations of the Main Report on Gambling in the Republic of South Afiica (Wiehahn Report) as a basis for the evaluation of the Western Cape gambling policy from both a social and economic perspective. More specifically the study attempts to shed light on the issues of the problems related to the scientific research of gambling, the economic profile of gamblers, the location of casinos, the displacement of capital and the correlation between crime and gambling.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Vir die doeleindes van hierdie studie word die term "gambling" slegs gebruik met verwysing na dobbel in casinos en sluit nie noodwendig perdewedrenne en die nasionale lotery in nie. Die studie word gedeeltelik gebaseer op die teoretiese model vir beleids-analise soos weergegee deur Dunn in sy boek "Public Policy Analysis" (1994). Die studie word verdeel in twee afdelings. Die eerste gedeelte behandel die stadium van monitering en is hoofsaaklik a retrospektiewe analise oor die ontwikkeling van die dobbelbedryf in sewentiende eeuse Venesië en meer onlangs in die Verenigde State van Amerika, Australië, Namibië, asook Suid-Afrikavoor 1994. Die laaste gedeelte behandel hoofsaaklik die stadium van beleids-evaluering. Dit bevraagteken die moontlike verskil tussen die verwagte en werklike vertoning en uitkoms van die dobbelbeleid in die Wes Kaap na 1994. Hoofstuk 3 gebruik die aanbevelings van die Hoofverslag oor Dobbel in die Republiek van Suid-Afrika (Wiehahn verslag) as 'n basis vir die evaluering van die dobbelbeleid van die Wes Kaap van beide 'n sosiale asook 'n ekonomiese perspektief Meer spesifiek beoog die studie om lig te werp op die probleme wat verband hou met die wetenskaplike navorsing van dobbelary, die ekonomiese profiel van dobbelaars, die geografiese plasing van casinos, die verplasing van kapitaal en die korrelasie tussen misdaad en dobbel.

Cardenas, Felipe. "The History of Indigenous Southern Californian Political Sovereignty and the Impact of Tribal Gaming." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2014. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/838.
Full textAbstract:
The political sovereignty of indigenous Southern Californians has deep history of disenfranchisement and paternalism. A steady decline characterized the political authority and autonomy from the 18th century to 1850 when indigenous tribes of Southern California were in proximity of Spanish Missionaries and later, Mexican ranchers. Following the inclusion of California into the Union, this decline turned into a sharp drop. This paper looks at the history of these people under the three above-mentioned time frames and then analyzes how tribal gaming is effecting the current political sovereignty of Southern Californian Tribes. Special attention is given to the Barona Casino in San Diego to put into context, how tribal gaming is serving as a catalyst for change in the relationship between the California state government and tribal governments.

Full textAbstract:
Ingeniero Civil IndustrialEl presente trabajo tiene como objetivo proponer un rediseño del modelo de vigilancia de un casino de Juegos, desde un punto de vista estratégico, operacional y estructural buscando mejorar la efectividad en detección de errores en transacciones y eficiencia de sus procesos aumentando el porcentaje de tiempo dedicado a actividades que agregan valor. El estudio se centró en el área de monitoreo por circuito cerrado de televisión (CCTV), que a su vez está dividido en dos sub-áreas: Surveillance y Security. La primera se enfoca en la supervisión del juego de Mesas, Máquinas tragamonedas y operación de cajas y Bóveda; la segunda tiene foco principalmente en la seguridad de las instalaciones (Hotel, restaurant, bar, estacionamiento, etc.). La metodología se basó en mediciones que se hicieron de los tiempos y frecuencia de cada tarea que realiza el área de vigilancia por CCTV. Posteriormente se hace una clasificación de las actividades de acuerdo al valor que agregan al negocio y una propuesta que puede significar mantener, eliminar o derivar una tarea. A partir del análisis de las actividades se propuso un rediseño del modelo de vigilancia (por CCTV), en el que se liberan 30 horas de las actividades de Surveillance y un 14 de las de Security por eliminación y derivación. También se propone la fusión de estas dos sub-áreas para formar una única unidad de monitoreo de operaciones y la creación de un Back Office que se especializará en gestión de la información. Los resultados obtenidos muestran un mayor potencial de detección de errores en transacciones en las mesas de juego gracias a una mayor asignación de tiempo al monitoreo de esta área. Las estimaciones indican que sería posible duplicar los incidentes detectados actualmente y llegar a un nivel de 26,4 Malos Pagos detectados mensualmente. La implementación de este nuevo modelo tendría un impacto económico de $ 60 MM por concepto de ahorro al evitar pérdidas por errores en transacciones.

Full textAbstract:
Since casino liberalization, Macau has been undergoing metaphoric changes that are fundamental, rapid, and far-reaching. This poses a challenge to Macau people to cope with life changing circumstances to the extent of rediscovering their hometown which have changed profoundly as evident by the city‘s ever-changing skyline. Having said so, this study aims to explore the effects of large-scale casino development on Macau residents‘ sense of place, and how their changing sense of place determines their support for casino development. To achieve this study purpose, three interrelated research objectives are laid down for the study. They are (1) to assess the impact of casino liberalization on Macau society, (2) to describe Macau residents’ sense of place amid the casino boom, and (3) to delineate the structural relationship between casino impact, sense of place, place satisfaction, and support for casino development. By using a purely quantitative approach based on a comprehensive resident survey, the study identified both positive and negative casino impact factors as affecting Macau people economically, socially, and environmentally. More importantly, these casino impact factors were also found to exhibit significant predictive power in explaining respondents‘ sense of place intensity, therefore empirically validating a posited relationship between the impact of casino development and inhabitants’ sense of place. The study also found that respondents’ sense of place carried obvious connotations of modernity and exquisiteness because respondents were using everyday vocabularies such as ‘rich’, ‘lively’, ‘developed’, and ‘unique’ to express their perceptions of the new Macau. This brief glossary of words, which characterizes successful urban development, was also found to associate strongly with their sense of place assessments. Finally, the study validated an integrated conceptual model within which the sense of place construct assumes a decisive role in affecting place satisfaction and support for casino development. The contribution of this study lies in the fact it has brought to our attention residents’ sense of place as an important determinant for the success of any large-scale tourism project such as casino development. This study has also provided a new breath to the traditional casino impact studies by taking a new look at an old problem through a cross-disciplinary perspective.published_or_final_version

Shrestha, Mona. "Exploring gendered work and women's empowerment : a study of hotels, resorts and casinos in Nepal." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2013. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/57260/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores gendered work and women‟s empowerment in interactive service work in Nepal, focusing on two five-star hotels, two deluxe resorts and two casinos. It develops a conceptual framework to explore how gendered work and women‟s empowerment are related, paying attention to the interactional and structural levels. This feminist research uses mixed methods of 21 questionnaires to gather quantitative data that shed light on the gendered workforce. Qualitative data is derived from 65 interviews (semi-structured and in-depth) with male and female workers, managers, male family members and policy experts, two focus group discussions with women working in two casinos and observations in the six sample establishments. The study makes three arguments. First, gendered work is constructed by three distinct but related dimensions, namely: the gender division of labour; the gendered ideologies of managers and workers; and the gendering of skills provided through training. Second, workers, to a variable extent, perform gendered emotional, aesthetic and (hetero) sexualised labour and such performances shape and are shaped by gendered work. Third, women‟s paid work empowers them to some extent at an individual level; however, structural constraints continue to impede their empowerment. The thesis makes theoretical as well as empirical contributions to existing knowledge. Theoretically, it contributes to understanding of the relationship between gendered work and empowerment in which structural context is of critical significance. At the empirical level, this makes an original contribution to the analysis of interactive service work in Nepal. The thesis finds that women doing gendered work are to some extent empowered at the individual level and perhaps „doing‟ gender per se is not a problem. However, structural constraints continue to impede women‟s empowerment, despite some gradual changes. The thesis also finds that the hotel and casino sector are not feminised in contrast to studies conducted in the „West‟.

Full textAbstract:
Magíster en Ingeniería de Negocios con Tecnologías de InformaciónEn el rubro de casinos gastronómicos, a diferencia de otros negocios, La Empresa debe definir el servicio que entregará al cliente, es decir, debe proponer el menú que ofrecerá mensualmente en cada uno de los casinos de los clientes. El problema que se abarca en este proyecto, es uno de los principales de este rubro, el cual consiste en seleccionar los platos a ofrecer en los menús de cada casino (variedad), y la cantidad a preparar de cada alternativa para evitar mermas y/o que finalicen las alternativas disponibles antes de concluir la entrega del servicio a todos los comensales en un día. El menú a definir, debe cumplir requisitos nutricionales y variedad, adicionalmente estos alimentos deben ser de gusto de los clientes. Todo lo mencionado anteriormente, debe ser considerado al realizar la planificación de los menús, considerando además el que el costo de los alimentos debe ser el menor posible para maximizar la utilidad de la empresa, ya que el precio de venta es fijo. La Empresa donde se desarrolla este proyecto, tiene dos modalidades de entrega de servicios. La primera, corresponde a la elaboración de los alimentos completamente en las dependencias de cada cliente, y en la segunda son preparados en una planta de producción central y luego son transportados a las dependencias de los clientes al día siguiente de ser producidos y en el cliente posteriormente son regenerados (temperados) y servidos a los comensales. Actualmente La Empresa cuenta con más de 250 casinos, por lo cual se vuelve imprescindible la optimización de su proceso de planificación de alimentos, apoyado por un sistema de información que permita combinar las variables que influyen en la planificación de alimentos, obteniendo el menor costo posible. El resultado de este proyecto de tesis fue la validación de que el proceso de planificación de los menús puede ser optimizado a través de la incorporación de un sistema con una lógica inteligente y se pueden obtener beneficios como reducción en el tiempo de planificación y además beneficios económicos importantes debido a la reducción de los costos de los platos seleccionados para los menús a ofrecer a los clientes. Para mantener la confidencialidad de los datos expuestos en esta tesis, se mantendrá en reserva el nombre de la empresa en la cual se desarrolló este proyecto, y a lo largo de este documento se mencionará como La Empresa .

Full textAbstract:
Published ArticleThis paper synthesises, as its primary aim, through an integrative literature review, a new perspective on two major implications of the proposed legalisation of internet casinos in South Africa, which is: the effect on the auditor's business risk as well as the effect on audit risk. As its secondary aim the paper argues that legalisation of internet casinos in South Africa is imminent and that relative to other business, heavy reliance will be placed on the external auditor to ensure the internet casinos' compliance with various laws. The relevance and application of an integrative literature review is motivated. International perspectives are applied to the South African context. The paper demonstrates the relationship between the concepts of the auditor's business risk and audit risk by establishing that the auditor's business risk flows from possible accountability that may stem from significant audit risk that is not addressed during the audit engagement. The paper argues that the operational context of an internet casino in South Africa will be relatively unique and that three interrelating factors will create significant audit risk. The three significant factors are shown to be going concern, regulatory and information technology impacts. Failure by the auditor to recognise and respond appropriately to this audit risk may lead to serious consequences for the practitioner which may include regulatory intervention, reputational based losses or litigation. The impact of the International Standards on Auditing in this context is explored throughout and it is concluded that adherence to these standards will sufficiently mitigate significant audit risk as well as the auditor's business risk.

Mais le jeu évolue avec la société, il en suit le progrès et s'adapte aux nouvelles techniques qui peuvent en être le support et le moyen de diffusion. On retrouve alors ces mêmes jeux à travers les moyens de communication et les différents médias, notamment Internet.

Therefore the State [in its function] must take charge of this activity.

En el presente trabajo se propone realizar el estudio y análisis de algunas normas o

tragamonedas en el Perú, a través del Test de la proporcionalidad (adecuación,
necesidad y proporcionalidad en sentido estricto), lo cual conlleva la revisión de los
fines que se pretenden alcanzar con las mismas. El estudio abarca distintos tópicos
tales como la libertad de empresa, el análisis o ponderación de las políticas
regulatorias, constitución económica, y recoge las sentencias expedidas por el
Tribunal Constitucional en dicha materia.
Cabe indicar que la actividad de juegos de casino y máquinas tragamonedas se
desarrolla en nuestro país bajo algunos costos, y al ser una actividad que el Estado
permite de manera excepcional, incluso desincentiva, dichos costos suelen ser muy
altos, siendo asumidos no sólo por los empresarios que deseen ingresar en dicho
negocio (libre iniciativa privada), sino también por la sociedad y sus usuarios de dichos
establecimientos. Dichos costos se sustentan o deberían sustentarse en los fines y
objetivos de la regulación.
En este sentido, a través del Test de la proporcionalidad se pretende analizar algunos
de los requisitos y condiciones establecidos en la regulación de la actividad de juegos
de casino y máquinas tragamonedas en nuestro país, y dadas sus características y
