Financial Analysis
Evaluation and Prospects for the Future
From the Paper
"By 2004, the corporation's stocks had fallen 82% to $2.38 a share. At the time, this was little more than the cost of one ride of the New York City subway. And this abysmal performance had nothing to do with the casino industry. During the same period, rival MGM saw its shares rise by 223%. In 2004, Trump Hotels and Casinos was once more in Chapter 11 proceedings while it tried to figure a way out from underneath $1.8 billion in debt through corporate restructuring. In short, the history of Trump Hotels and Casinos has been one significant financial loss after another, falling stock prices, and increasing debt burdens."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the positive and negative effects that casino operations have on the tourism industry. The writer maintains that for the most part this is a symbiotic relationship and the one fosters the other in terms of economic activity and growth. The writer also points out that, while casino operations certainly fuel economic growth and expansion, they also are typically accompanied by an increase in crime or criminal activity of some type. The writer concludes that casino operations and tourism go hand in hand because while the family member that is intent on gambling or gaming in the casino is engaged in that activity, the other members of the family are intent on alternate activities. Further, the writer notes that it is these alternate activities that can truly fuel economic growth based on tourism in association with casino operations within a given market.

From the Paper
"Many countries, regions and municipalities have come to rely on casino operations as a method to improve their local and national economies. Typically the reliance on the casino industry to fuel economic growth is a sound growth strategy since it does result in increased travel and tourism but it is also fraught with a certain degree of peril. Markets that engage the casino industry as a form of economic stimulus must do so with a certain degree of caution as well since along with the gamblers and tourists, criminal activity usually arrives as well in one form or another."

Abstract
This paper is an anthropology paper that debates the true reason for resistance to Indian Casinos. The paper wholeheartedly supports the anthropologist Darrian-Smith in asserting that the one of the ultimate reasons for resistance to Indian Casinos lies in the centuries old traditions of non-Native discrimination towards natives, and both traditional and new age stereotyping.
From the Paper
"Indian Casinos For much of hundreds of years the American people have variously exterminated, stolen from or assimilated their indigenous peoples. In more recent decades this has turned into milder forms of discrimination and stereotypical conceptualizations. The one enduring theme has been the patrimonial dominance over Native peoples, being the most regulated of all people within the boundaries of the United States. Relegated by land appropriations to remote, often worthless plots of reservation lands, the remnants of traditional Native societies have barely been able to eke out a subsistence living. However, taking advantage of laws previously designed against them, a limited number of Native American tribes have turned to Casinos as a source of revenue to alleviate them from their hardship."

Casinos, 2004.
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of casinos and how they lure customers.

Abstract
This paper looks at the various ways casinos try to trick, manipulate, and lure their players to stay longer. It discusses how casinos are in business to make money, and they make money by keeping gamblers "glued" to the tables and slots. They use a variety of ploys to keep people inside, from removing clocks so players do not know what time it is to feeding them free drinks and inexpensive food to keep them in the building.
From the Paper
"Casinos lure gamblers to make money, and they do it any way they can, without regard for anything but their own maximum profit. How do they do it? The many ways they lure their "lambs to the slaughter" may be surprising in their variety, sheer ingenuity, and absolute disregard for anything but money. As author Popkin notes, "Since all casino games give the house a mathematical edge, the longer a player gambles, the greater the house's chance of winning" (Popkin 104). Just about anyone who has visited a casino can recognize some of the tactics, from no windows to free drinks, but underneath the flashing lights and dim interiors, there are numerous other ways the casinos manipulate players into staying longer at the tables and slots."

Abstract
This paper explains that gambling has always been part of the United States; even in the original colonies, lotteries were used to raise money, so that playing lotteries even became a civic responsibility. The author points out nine ways to manage money while gambling in a casino, such as using a progressive method of betting by setting a predetermined percentage increase for each winning bet and sticking stick to that. The paper relates that, in the past, casinos gave away rooms and served foods to attract new guests, especially the high rollers; today, non-gaming areas, including rooms, food, shows, retail space, and other aspects or features of their property, are increasingly a focus of potential profit opportunities.
From the Paper
"Casino businesses know that they must put their guests first, otherwise, these businesses are behind and fumbling. They need not only to catch up with the trend but to make giant leaps in order to remain in competition. The lesson to learn is that the casino is in business for the loyalty of each guest; therefore, that guest is at the center of it. If the guest can be made to feel like a royalty, he or she will remember it when he or she leaves, and then come back.

From the Paper
"The gaming industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom in the United States as local politicians rush to pass legislation to create gambling meccas in their jurisdictions. Even mainstream commercial concerns like H & R block and McDonald's are installing franchises in casinos. Once considered a morally objectionable pursuit, gambling has become a national pastime.
Legalized gambling is big business, bringing in annual revenues of $30 billion in the United States alone. The number of Americans visiting casinos, 92 million in 1993, exceeded the attendance at major league ballparks. As one member of Congress observed, "Gambling is now bigger than baseball, more powerful than a platoon of Schwarzeneggers, Spielbergs, Madonnas, and Oprahs" (U.S. Congress, 1994, p. 1). Industry analysts estimate that by the year 2000, 95 percent of the American population will ..."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the book 'Casino' by Martin Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi. The paper begins by summarizing the story line in the book and then moves on to discusses the main theme of the book. According to the paper, the main theme of this book is the casino in Las Vegas and the involvement of the Mafia in casino life.
From the Paper
"One of the weaknesses displayed in the book however is the confusion that can occur about who is who. Because of the many characters involved one might find that they need to go back and reread passage to maintain a sense of who is who and what is happening in each sub story(Scorsese, Pileggi, 1995).
The book does succeed in the desire to drive home the truth of casino life from the 1960's to the 1980's(Scorsese, Pileggi, 1995). It introduces the Teamsters. Few people in America are not aware of the Teamsters and their reputed mob connections. The story brings the Teamsters front and center and provides a bird's eye view of that organization's ties to the mob and the power that it has to shut the nation down if the call went out to do so(Scorsese, Pileggi, 1995).

Shinnecock Indians? Casino Rights, 2004.
This paper discusses the problems that the Shinnecock Indians have in exercising their casino rights.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Shinnecock Indians, stricken by poverty and cultural predation that stripped them of their ancestral lands and any economic hope for the future, have no hope for the future unless they establish a casino. The author points out that the Shinnecocks are controlled, and to some degree marginalized, by the local law and state government because they are not recognized fully as a tribe by the federal government and, therefore, do not have the same rights and privileges of self-determination that many federally recognized tribes enjoy. The paper relates that the opponents to this casino are the wealthy Hampton residents who seem to worry about property values and community morals, but are not concerned about denying self-reliance and determination to the tribal people.
From the Paper
"The Shinnecock have a proud and noble heritage, which predates their current impoverished state. However, historically the tribe has been taken advantage of by white Europeans and the new American government and settlers. They have consistently lost control of their native lands, in a series of unequal land swaps and hostile takeovers initiated by the white men and their government, which have also caused them to lose control of their economy. As one tribes spokesman says of the land swaps: ?They built on our ancestors bones and we never really did anything to stop it.? "

From the Paper
"Gambling has been legal in Nevada since 1931. For the year 2001, total gaming revenue in the State of Nevada totaled $9,468,598,681. In addition, ?The gaming industry?s total contribution to federal, state, and local taxes is estimated to be $2.2 billion a year. These contributions mean Nevadans don?t pay, among others: state personal income tax, state corporate income tax (measured by net income), state sales tax on food, state inheritance tax, and state gift tax? (Berkley).
Gaming in Nevada is highly regulated by the State Gaming Control Board and in many aspects by the Federal Government. "All establishments where gaming is conducted and where gambling devices are operated, and manufacturers, sellers and distributors of certain gambling devices and equipment must therefore be licensed, controlled and assisted to protect the public health, safety, morals, good order and general welfare of the inhabitants of the state, to foster the stability and success of gaming and to preserve the competitive economy and policies of free competition of the State of Nevada" (Gaming Control)."

Abstract
This paper examines some of the current trends in the surveillance of American citizens. The paper describes various methods of surveillance. The paper focuses on the moral and ethical imperatives involved in this surveillance and explores how it applies to the employees and clientele of the American casino industry.
From the Paper
"According to one source, Big Brother is already here and we are being watched all the time: "Due to the recent explosion in covert video camera surveillance, you cannot leave your home without being monitored by one or more video cameras!" (Dome Cameras, Speed Domes, PTZ and Zoom Lens Domes, Matrix S, 2004). Man is basically a social animal with fundamental needs for a community in which to survive. Ever since we climbed down from the trees and out of the caves, we have banded together for our mutual protection and support, and civilization emerged as a result. There comes a time, however, when we all look to have some personal space -- some privacy -- and in a modern era marked by sophisticated intelligence-gathering technology, this sense of privacy is increasingly being violated by industry and government. This paper will examine some of the current trends in the surveillance of American citizens as well as the moral and ethical imperatives involved in this surveillance as it applies to the employees and clientele of the American casino industry."
