The Security of Gambling and Gambling with Security: Hacking, Law Enforcement and Public Policy

John McMullan and David Perrier

International Gambling Studies, 2007, vol. 7, issue 1, 43-58

Abstract: This paper studies the relationship between criminal organization and social control in the area of computer crime. We examine a ‘cheat at play’ scheme that hacked into electronic gambling machines. We focus on how these cyber-attacks were committed and on the ability of the state and the industry to control them. We compare and contrast our findings with the research on hacking and the gambling industry and conclude by discussing the implications that our research has for law enforcement, security and consumer protection.
