Abstract: With the expansion of the casino industry, especially in Asia, there are growing calls for innovative policy for realizing a net economic benefit while effectively controlling problem gambling. Although the triple-helix framework has been traditionally applied to technological innovation, the concepts of knowledge, innovation and consensus spaces of the triple-helix system have enormous implications for complicated issues related to developing casino policy. A cluster analysis of nine Asian countries/regions suggests that superior universities and industries are necessary but not sufficient for a successful triple-helix system. Capabilities related to networking and interactions among the helices are found to be important for a well-functioning triple-helix system. For consensus-driven policy development in the triple-helix collaboration, we propose big data analysis as a useful tool.
