Abstract | As the gaming industry has expanded throughout the United States, job opportunities have grown along with revenue. Holly Thomsen with the American Gaming Association says that, not only has the casino part of the hospitality business grown dramatically, but it encompasses so much--hotels, restaurants, the gaming floor and the shows. He also states that the school is starting a casino management track as part of its business school offerings, so that people who come out and take management positions--and there are so many different facets involved in this business--will be prepared to work in this very specific but growing segment of the entertainment industry. Furthermore, Gail Sammons believes that education is needed to ensure well-trained, responsible employees in the industry. But she also believes it is important to educate consumers, as well as future consumers and politicians, so that they will understand the responsibility involved in gaming and will be able to enjoy it as it should be enjoyed--as entertainment.
