"Gaming Law in a Nutshell discusses all aspects of gambling law, and on all levels: federal, state, tribal, local and international. It covers all forms of gaming, legal and illegal, from traditional casinos and lotteries to internet poker and e-sports, pari-mutuel betting to daily fantasy sports and social media games. Two of the nation's leading experts explain why legal gambling, one of the fastest growing industries in the world, still faces restrictions on its right to advertise or even have its contracts enforced. The Nutshell has separate discussions of many jurisdictions, including Nevada, New Jersey and other states, Macau, Canada and other countries; Indian and charity gaming; taxes; intellectual property, compulsive gambling; and, the most recent developments in the most popular forms of gaming." - publisher's description
