Gaming

Commercial, Native American and charitable gaming venues, as well as state
sponsored lotteries, have stretched across the American landscape at an
incredible pace. In just fifteen years the number of states permitting
commercial casino style gaming has gone from two to twelve (with more on
the near horizon) and the number of states housing Native American casinos
has gone from none to twenty-eight. Today, only two states do not have
some form of state lottery.
The gaming industry is subjected to a complex maize of state and federal
statutes, rules and regulations that constitute conditions precedent to
participation in the gaming business. In depth knowledge of gaming laws
and the regulators and the regulatory framework enforcing the gaming laws
is critical to successfully navigating these treacherous waters. Success
often hinges upon the choice of appropriate, knowledgeable legal counsel.
Recognizing the complex array of state and federal regulatory issues that
have arisen out of the incredible growth of gaming, State Law Resources,
Inc. (“SLR”), a national network of independent law firms that practice
separately and that are not engaged in the joint practice of law, has
formed the SLR Gaming Law Network. The independent law firms that are
participants in the SLR Gaming Law Network are located in major gaming
jurisdictions throughout the country. Each of the Gaming Law Network
firms has extensive regulatory and administrative expertise, a critical
credential when dealing with gaming regulatory authorities. The lawyers
and law firms identified in SLR’s Gaming Law Network bring to the table
the breadth and depth of expertise and political and practical knowledge
necessary to provide excellent representation to businesses directly and
indirectly involved in the gaming industry.
