“…The state of Wisconsin's negotiation of a seven‐year compact, for example, is tantamount to stacking the deck in favor of the state, because reservations have already invested large amounts of capital to open casinos and are basically coerced into signing perhaps less desirable compacts in the future to protect their investments and livelihoods. Wisconsin used the threat of nonrenewal to negotiate major changes in the original agreement valued in the billions of dollars (Janke and Gerlach 2002). This means, essentially, that states can negotiate for larger cuts of the gaming revenue, threaten not to renew the compact, or disallow increased numbers of gaming tables or slot machines.…”

The increased devolution of federal responsibilities to states coupled with lack of programs and income is heightening the need for economic development among Native American tribes. The fastest growing and most profitable investment is reservation casino gambling. However, the inability of many tribes to successfully negotiate gaming 'compacts' with state governments as prescribed by federal law is creating a new dynamic in state politics. Tribal governments are increasingly engaged in interest group behavior, such as narrowing the scope of conflict, and inside and outside lobbying, to try and create favorable policy decisions. Using a case study of two Texas tribes, an analysis of interest group learning is conducted. We conclude that, in order to survive, tribal gaming interest groups must gain access to state political venues instead of relying on the federal government and the courts.

“…It was found that the elderly tend to prefer slot machines to other casino games (Munro et al, 2003;Southwell et al, 2008). It is particularly common among women (Bjelde et al, 2008;Delfabbro, 2000;Crisp et al, 2000;Hing and Breen, 2001;Janke and Gerlach, 2002;Southwell et al, 2008).

Casino Gambling Among Older Adults in North Dakota: A Policy Analysis

2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article examined social issues surrounding casino gambling among older adults both nationally and in the state of North Dakota. An exploratory review of gambling trends among older adults and an examination of policies to protect older gamblers revealed that older adults are targeted by the gaming industry as a lucrative market (Singh et al. J Retail Leisure Property 2007, 6(1):61-68). The authors used the national literature to frame their qualitative study, which explored gambling issues among older adults in North Dakota from the perspective of six counselors trained in gambling addiction who provide treatment services in the state. Findings indicated that relatively few policies existed at the state and national levels to protect older, more vulnerable adults who gamble. Further, the six casinos in North Dakota were viewed as very effective in marketing their casino gaming opportunities to older citizens by the gambling treatment providers interviewed. Additionally, barriers to gambling addiction treatment involved lack of available services and distance to receive services in this rural state. Based on the findings of this study, social policy changes which could lead to increased protection for older adult gamblers in the state were included.
