Gambling industry researchers come from many different angles and viewpoints, but from our perspective - gambling industry research has nothing to do with a particular goal or point of view, and everything to do with the dissemination of facts.

Various
Forms of Gambling Research
Traditional Casinos and
Riverboats
Legal (non-tribal) gambling in the United States is regulated at the state level and regulatory organizations vary widely by type of gambling, and from state to state. A "traditional casino" generally has slot machines and table games and can be set up on land or as a riverboat (based on state and local gambling laws).
The following 10 states currently permit and regulate traditional casinos (click on a hyperlink to visit each state's regulatory agency on the web): Louisiana Riverboats (also slots at track, video gaming, and land based casino) Iowa Riverboats (also slots at tracks)
Tribal Casinos and Other Indian Gaming
Gambling operated by indian tribes and/or on Indian lands in 2002 accounted for $12.7 billion, close to 20% of all legal gambling revenue generated in the United States. We estimate that tribal casinos in California alone accounted for between $4 and $5 billion for the year and that the 2 Indian casinos in Connecticut earned over $2 billion in gambling revenue. Other states that bring in large amounts of gambling revenue for Indian tribes include Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Mexico, Arizona, and Louisiana. Below you'll find a list of useful links relating to indian gaming:

In addition to slot machines at racetracks some states have slot machines at other locations, including bars, restaurants, truck stops, OTB facilities, and convenience stores.
