The law of gambling can be simple, or enormously complex. For example, all gambling requires three elements: prize, chance and consideration. But creating a successful game that has only two of those elements can be extremely difficult. Similarly, some forms of online gaming are legal, but only a legal professional can tell you whether your plans meet the requirements of the law.
Professor I. Nelson Rose is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on gambling law. He is an internationally known scholar, with more than 1,500 published works, and public speaker, often the keynote speaker on gambling issues. A 1979 graduate of Harvard Law School, he is a Distinguished Senior Professor at Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa, California, where he taught one of the first law school classes on gaming law, and a Visiting Professor at the University of Macau.

 Gaming Law in a Nutshell has just been published by West. Written by Professors I. Nelson Rose and Walter T. Champion, Jr., the book discusses all aspects of gambling law, and on all levels: local, tribal, state, national, and international. It covers all forms of wagering, legal and illegal, including casino games and slot machines, lotteries, poker, bingo, sports betting, racing, and Internet gaming. It has separate discussions of many jurisdictions, including Nevada, New Jersey, Macau, Canada, and other countries; Indian and charity gaming; taxes; intellectual property; compulsive gambling; and the most popular forms of gambling.
The publication of a Nutshell marks a significant milestone for Gaming Law. As Prof. Champion put it in his Preface: "To me, the Nutshell is 'graduation day.' It shows that a particular field has the gravitas to merit a victory lap." Authors of Nutshells are always the leading experts in the field. And as Prof. Rose noted, he purposely designed it to be a mini-treatise, to explain the law in a way that would be understandable to anyone new to the subject, or who only knows one part of the field. "It should prove useful for anyone interested in the fast growing and fast changing area of Gaming Law."

On Friday, April 15, 2011, the federal Department of Justice (“DoJ”) disclosed its grand jury indictments of the founders of the three largest poker operators then taking money bets from U.S. players, as well some payment processors and a Utah bank official.[1] The DoJ also released a civil complaint[2] and a press release.[3] Then, on May 23rd, the U.S. Attorney for Maryland announced his own grand jury indictments of two more Internet gaming companies and three individuals. Although the Maryland charges are serious – illegal gambling[4] and money laundering[5] – and involve one fairly well know name, Doylesroom.com, they appear to be based on sting operations and have not had much impact on the world of online poker; at least, not compared with the uproar and fear engendered by Black Friday.
