Excellent reading for anybody in gaming, even regulators.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Casino Operations Management (Hardcover)
I regulate an Indian casino in California and I am always looking for written material on the subject. This book has a section about Nevada Gaming Control, and a section on Indian Gaming Commissions. It has a good flow chart for the licensing process. Its good for anybody aspiring to be a casino operations manager too. Did you know that Nevada prohibited gaming three times in its history as a state? It will be required reading for new members to out regulatory team. Let me know of any other good and current casino books or training.Lenny Powell.

Great read,
By Casino Newbie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Casino Operations Management (Hardcover)
This books assumes you know nothing about Gaming Operations and goes from there, taking you on an in-depth exploration of the gaming industry, from it's beginnings through modern-day operations. This book was highly beneficial. I also read "The Gaming Industry: Introduction and Perspectives" from the UNLV International Gaming Institute, both of which I would strongly recommend. Well written and dives to the appropriate level of detail.
