State Lotteries and Legalized Gambling
Painless Revenue or Painful Mirage
 By Richard McGowan

Description
Lotteries and state-sponsored gambling is big business. This is the first study that evaluates the business strategies of state lotteries on two fronts. First, it examines which of the lottery strategies produces the most consistent source of revenue for the state. Second, it analyzes possible overall gambling strategies that states will utilize as they seek to expand gambling revenue. This is must reading for those operating lotteries, state legislators, and vendors to state lottery commissions, taxpayers, and scholars in public policy and government.

Reviews:
-Policy makers who face the lure of this additional, ostensibly painless, source of revenue would be well advised to read McGowan's book before voting to legalize lotteries or any form of gaming. —Choice
-...a major contribution to the knowledge of this field because of the rigor of McGowan's thinking and his use of sophisticated research techniques. —Perspectives on Political Science
