Book Description
Written by a lawyer and an economist, Governing Fortune summarizes the legal framework supporting the gaming industry and reviews the costs and benefits of casinos by showing how tax base and job growth vary widely with site-specific factors. The book sets forth an innovative proposal for the licensing of gamblers as a means to balance the liberty interests of individuals against the social costs generated from problem gambling behavior. Morse and Goss offer both regional and sector comparisons of the gaming industry and accessible data about every aspect of the gaming environment, including the impact of gambling on economic and social environments. "Goss and Morse provide an outstandingly sound economic understanding of the function and place of casinos in American society, including essential heretofore unavailable grounding in the legal issues that the book accomplishes remarkably effectively. Moreover, this wealth of economic and legal information is transmitted in an engaging and readable manner. Scholarly, thoughtfully collected and authoritative, the book is of interest to any learner of the gambling industry, including students, civic activists, legislators, and scholars." — Earl Grinols, Baylor University "In this book, Morse and Goss make important contributions to our understanding of the negative outcomes of the expansion of gambling in America." — Jon Bruning, Nebraska Attorney General Edward A. Morse is Professor of Law and holder of the McGrath North Mullin & Kratz Endowed Chair in Business Law at Creighton University School of Law. Ernest P. Goss is Professor of Economics and MacAllister Chair at Creighton University and was a 2004 scholar-in-residence with the Congressional Budget Office.

Book Description
"Casinos of Michigan" began life as a casino guidebook and evolved into a celebration of a fast-growing pastime enjoyed by millions of Michiganders. Tribal gaming began in Michigan in the mid-1980s. The state will have 26 casinos by late 2011. Detroit is the fifth-largest casino market in America. "Casinos of Michigan" is for everyone who enjoys visiting casinos, traveling Michigan and, especially, playing slot machines. Readers can use the book to plan trips and to become smarter players. A sample from Chapter 38: Never stick with a cold machine because you think it is due to hit. Never leave a hot machine because you think it is played out. Do not flee a machine after a big score. Spend another $10 or $20 before confirming it is on a downswing. If a player abandons a machine after a jackpot or major pay-out, jump on it. Do not bank your winnings in a machine. Cash out and start another run. Leave on your first inclination to leave. Steven Hepker has been a professional writer for 30 years, much of the time as a deadline crime reporter. He grew up on a dairy farm and was co-captain of the Hudson High School Tigers football team that won a national record 72 consecutive wins. Hepker graduated from Hillsdale College, where he later taught journalism. He won three dozen state and national awards from 1980 to 2009 at four daily newspapers in Michigan and Pennsylvania. His first casino visit was in 1984 at age 28, in Atlantic City. Hepker and his wife, Sandy, have four children and three grandsons. They live on a farm near Hudson, an hour from the nearest casino. Hepker raises or harvests much of his family's food, farms about 110 acres of grain and hay, and is a freelance writer. He has published about 15,000 by-lined stories since the late 1970s. "Casinos of Michigan" is his first book."
