چکیده
Public interest and acceptance of casino gaming as a recreational activity has resulted in a proliferation of gaming locations.

Gaming could see continued revenue growth and participation or, like lotteries, it could face saturation and even decline. To avoid the potential problems associated with maturation, gaming operators may need to review the experiences of state lotteries which have faced and dealt with the problems of maturation and saturation.
