From the Paper:

"People have had demand for the act of gambling (as well as aversion to it) for many ages. The distant past held gambling in the esteem of being communication from the gods, in whose eyes a lucky gambler held favor (Encarta 2002). Not much has changed, as people still recognize the exceptionality of 'beating the odds,' and the foolishness of expending too many resources in attempt to do so. By nature, the act adversely affects many personal finances; the industry, into which it has developed in modern day America, though, should not be so simply evaluated. This paper will explore the gaming industry's value by questioning its role in the American economy."
