Gaming Law
Question 1: Dispute Resolution by the Gaming Control Board
The Nevada Gaming Control Board is responsible for controlling the gaming industry, especially the operations of the casinos. One of the main responsibilities involves solving the disputes existing between industry players; like customers and service providers. This paper analyzes the solution of disputes involving a customer, John Smith and the service provider, a licensed casino. Smith files complaints to the Gaming Control Board, and a guilty verdict is obtained against the Nevada casino. The issue under complaint involves the, non adherence to proper gaming procedures and the proven case of Shuffle tracking.
It is unlawful to alter the gaming outcomes through shuffle tracking. It is also unlawful for any participant in the gaming process, to cheat during the gambling game. In our example, the cheating is conducted through giving unfair advantage to some players, enabling them to shuffle track other innocent players like Smith. Smith is legally allowed to sue the other player for cheating in a gaming process. The probability of the court suit being successful is very high. Smith will benefit from the won court case by receiving his appropriately stated damages value. Smith can also sue the casino for tolerating unethical practices during the gaming process.
Question 2: Social Gaming
Social gaming concept illustrates the participation in games through social interaction process; instead of participating in solitude games. Examples of social gaming are; card games, board games, and social network games. The card games entail several players. Board games also entail two or more players. The social network games involve online gaming through application of social network elements. Social gaming should be adequately regulated by the federal and state governments, in collaboration with private sector gaming organizations. Adequate regulations of the social gaming sector have the ability of adequately enhancing the management and competitiveness of the gaming process.
Effective management of the sector has the ability of adequately generating revenue for the players, gaming organizations, and the government. The government gets revenue through taxing the profits made by the social gaming companies, and the incomes received by the players and staffs in the gaming sector. Adequate regulation improves the competitiveness of social gaming. This is because the gaming organizations will adequately organize competitions at the local, national and international levels. The players will then be adequately enabled in participating effectively at both national and international arenas. The major challenge of social gaming entails the unpredictability nature. It is very difficult to determine the outcomes of most social games. This results in uncertain planning activities.
Question 3: Sports Wagering

However, many cases of sports wagering are illegal in the United States and in most countries internationally. There are several categories of sports wagering. The categories range from simple to complex. An example of simple category entails betting $20 in favor of a baseball team, or betting $100 in favor of a favorite team that participates in the Super Bowl. Sports betting Activities are generally performed through the bookmaker, and also several other internet outlets. The complex categories of sports wagering include; teasers, if bets, parlays, and progressive parlays.
Teasers enable the bettor to integrate the bets on several games. All the games must be won, in order to win the bets. Parlay also involves multiple bets. The successful bettor is rewarded with a high payout amount. Progressive parlays entail several bets, up to a maximum of 12. Successful bettor is given monetary benefits, though not as huge as that received in the parlays debt. The federal laws should be changed to legalize sports wagering. This will ensure adequate government regulation, and generation of tax and income revenues.
