BETTING THE HOUSE: WINNERS, LOSERS AND THE POLITICS OF CANADA'S GAMBLING OBSESSION
Hutchinson, Brian
1999 44519 Hard Cover. Brand New/Brand New Book Jacket. 6 x 9". . Gambling is hardly new to Canadians' they have been hanging out at the track and playing church-basement bingo fo r decades. What is newe is the arrival of a powerful, American-style gambling industry. .The author explores every facet of Canada's growing obsession with gambling as he traveled across the country, rolling the dice in splashy new casinos and decrepit roadside dives. He examines the psychology behind this obsession and covers the business interests pushing it, as well as the government's questio nable role in it (Canadian). .Along the way he introduces the reader to fascinating characters he met. As he says, there is disturbing new evidence of rot in the system, and mounting concern over Canad'as addiction to games of chance. This is a candid look at gambling's effect on all of us -- now and in the future! Viking Imports 0-670-88586-X / 9780670885862
