The primary objectives of the conference are to contribute to the base of scientific knowledge about gambling in all its dimensions, to stimulate further research, and to facilitate discussion and dialogue about gambling and commercial gaming as it has developed and continues to evolve throughout the world.

This conference traces its origins back to 1974, and is recognized as the premier academic and research oriented conference in the world, bringing together international experts, representing a diverse array of disciplines, to examine and analyze gambling from many perspectives. Leading researchers from academia, research organizations, and governments, along with leaders and representatives from commercial gaming industries, regulatory agencies, and the helping services–as well as professional gamblers and the general public–have gathered at prior conferences to present and evaluate their research findings, discuss current trends and new technologies, and explore the changes and challenges created by the increased presence of commercial gaming to citizens throughout the world. In May 2009, the experts will gather again, near the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe.
