Abstract

Taking into consideration of the unique features and practice of casino gaming, the significance of law in the development of this industry, and the onging interactions between law, the industry’s succeeding performance and its spillover effects are generalized and illustrated in this paper. Based on the rationales of law and economics, and the institutional approach to economic analysis, a functional model is constructed to depict the related interplaying forces and the development of casino gaming. In principle, it is shown that business scope and scale of casino gaming is largely defined by law on one hand, and the revisions of related regulations are interactively influenced by the industry’s performance and its spillover effects on the other hand. By compiling some related evidences from the major Asian casino jurisdictions (Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea), it is revealed that the practice of casino gaming is indeed a combined dynamics of law and its spillover effects.

Taking into consideration of the unique features and practice of casino gaming, the significance of law in the development of this industry, and the onging interactions between law, the industry’s succeeding performance and its spillover effects are generalized and illustrated in this paper. Based on the rationales of law and economics, and the institutional approach to economic analysis, a functional model is constructed to depict the related interplaying forces and the development of casino gaming. In principle, it is shown that business scope and scale of casino gaming is largely defined by law on one hand, and the revisions of related regulations are interactively influenced by the industry’s performance and its spillover effects on the other hand. By compiling some related evidences from the major Asian casino jurisdictions (Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea), it is revealed that the practice of casino gaming is indeed a combined dynamics of law and its spillover effects.
