The
Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming
was established by the University of Nevada, Reno in 1989.
As the first academically oriented program of its kind, the
Institute serves as a structure to broaden the understanding
of gambling and the commercial gaming industries. Its aim is
to encourage and promote research and learning so that the
multifaceted issues surrounding gambling and commercial
gaming and the ways in which individuals and
society-at-large are affected might be addressed.
