Homework: Malta Gaming Authority- Gaming Jurisdiction
Purpose
The purpose of this homework is to review a gaming jurisdiction not discussed in the book or in class. As a result of this homework, students will be more familiar with gaming jurisdictions beyond those discussed in the book and will be able to investigate a jurisdiction that personally interests them.
This homework is intended to integrate the material learned in class in module. Evaluating other gaming jurisdictions allows the students to compare and contrast how different jurisdictions are set up and how they tax and monitor their operators.
Submissions are expected to resemble those presented to an upper level manager in a gaming operation and will give students an opportunity to apply written communication skills.
