Gambling has become the method of choice for US states in search of additional revenue: in 2002 alone, state lottery sales exceeded USD42 billion, netting nearly USD14 billion in voluntary taxes. Gambling Politics examines this dramatic development in contemporary state policymaking, as well as the shifting politics accompanying gambling's spread.
