Gambling in California

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how professional gambling is already popular in most of California and how one of the main concerns regarding gambling in California is the infiltration of it into regions where it may disrupt a culture. It examines the thesis that professional gambling may be made use of in order to ameliorate economic conditions in the state and how this means that policy formulation for such a change may even mean ignoring cultural protection, as alleviating poverty is considered to be more important.

From the Paper:

"Since California is a state that had a diverse demographic make up with considerable poverty to specific groups. It might be well worth enhancing the profession of gambling. This must be considered because of the fact that there are many sectors of the society that would stand to benefit from the activity of professional gambling (Leonhardt & Paplos, 2004). The Indians for instance would certainly benefit from the gambling profession economically speaking because they would be able to ameliorate their poverty ridden areas. However, it is also worth considering the fact that there might be social repercussions to enhancing the profession of gambling in California, particularly on the Indian reservations."
