Encyclopedia
I. Nelson Rose is an internationally known author
and public speaker, and is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on gambling
and gaming law
. He is currently a Distinguished Senior Professor
at Whittier Law School
and a Visiting Professor at the University of Macau
. Professor Rose is best known for his internationally syndicated column
and 1986 landmark book, Gambling and the Law.
, Professor Rose developed the theory of the Third Wave of Legal Gambling. Examining the dates when laws had been enacted in the past, he concluded that legal gambling had twice before swept the nation. He correctly predicted that state lotteries, casinos and other forms of gambling would once again be made legal in the United States
. According to the theory, legal gambling will continue to spread, until it is once again outlawed.
The Third Wave of Legal Gambling theory inspired both entrepreneurs and governments to expand legal gaming, in part because it showed how much money could be made by the initial operators. “Suppose Prohibition of alcohol had just been repealed. The hypothetical owner of the first and only liquor store in a state would make a fantastic return on investment.”
The Third Wave of Legal Gambling theory explains why the states differ so much in their approaches to gaming. Professor Rose showed the legal problems created by prohibitions in state constitutions dating from the 19th century on lotteries. For example, in 1990, the Mississippi Supreme Court discussed Professor Rose’s Third Wave of Legal Gambling theory in oral argument, concluding that that state’s ancient constitutional ban on “lotteries” did not prevent the Mississippi Legislature from legalizing charity bingo. The next year the Legislature authorized casinos, making Mississippi the third leading casino state, after Nevada and New Jersey.
Professor Rose has also been involved in other major developments involving legal gambling in the U.S. and abroad. He has worked with governments and industry
in legalizing and regulating casinos
, poker
, bingo and lotteries. He also was instrumental in the introduction of contests of skill and subscription and other games with free alternative means of entry.
Professor Rose’s expert testimony led to the introduction of Texas hold 'em
and Pai Gow Poker
into California cardroom
s in the 1980s; His work with tribes and suppliers on the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
and in testifying on what is legal on Indian land helped lead to the creation of the modern tribal bingo hall and casino.
In 1999, the California Supreme Court cited Gambling and the Law in striking down Proposition 5, which had won the most expensive initiative campaign battle in the nation's history, and which would have legalized tribal casinos as "lotteries." In 2006, the first NAFTA tribunal involving gaming adopted Professor Rose’s testimony, on behalf of the federal government of Mexico, on what constituted a slot machine as opposed to a game of skill. The North Dakota Supreme Court
also adopted his position on what is a slot machine. The California Supreme Court adopted his testimony on what constituted a banking game, closing down the State lottery’s Keno
.
In “Compulsive Gambling and the Law”, Professor Rose described how the views of society, and thus of the law, toward problem gambling are changing. In his writings and public presentations, he explained how courts and lawmakers were struggling with the concept that a person might bet too much because they were ill, rather than because they were morally weak. He incorporated the California Counsel on Problem Gambling, wrote the bill providing funding for the Texas Counsel on Problem Gambling. In 1990, he argued the case of Erickson v. Desert Palace, Inc., before the Ninth Circuit, on behalf of a 19-year-old boy who was denied a million-dollar slot machine jackpot by Caesars Palace
, and asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the appeal. Professor Rose was instrumental in getting governments and operators to put in place protections for compulsive and underage gamblers.
Professor Rose is the co-author of "Internet Gaming Law" (1st and 2nd editions), Blackjack and the Law, and the first casebook on the subject, "Gaming Law: Cases and Materials". Professor Rose is co-editor-in-chief of the Gaming Law Review & Economics. He is a consultant to governments and industry and has testified as an expert witness on gaming in administrative, civil and criminal cases.
. Immediately following graduation from Harvard, Professor Rose moved to Hawaii
to practice law. He passed the Hawaii and California bars and has also been admitted to practice in federal court
s, including Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.
While in Hawaii, Professor Rose established the state’s first eye bank, the Hawai’i Lions Eye Bank & Makana Foundation, in 1981. He helped get state law changed to allow donor stickers on drivers’ licenses and permit trained nurses to harvest tissue. Professor Rose served as legal counsel to the eye bank from 1981-1983.
In Fall 1983, Professor Rose developed and taught the first law school class on Gaming Law. Today there are at least 31 law schools with courses in Gaming Law, as well as graduate business schools and undergraduate colleges, many using the casebook Professor Rose co-authored.
In 1993-1994, Professor Rose became the first Visiting Scholar for the University of Nevada-Reno's Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming. His Gaming Law classes were open to undergraduates, graduate students, and practicing lawyers and regulators. At that time, Nevada had no law school, so Professor Rose was the only person teaching Gaming Law in the nation’s leading state for legal gaming.
In 2004, Professor Rose taught a seminar on International Gaming Law for Whittier Law School’s Summer Abroad program in China. He taught the same class the following years in Spain and France. He also taught classes on gaming law to the FBI; at colleges in Slovenia
; and, at UNR’s professional training courses in Reno, Tahoe and Macau.
Professor Rose began co-teaching, with Professor Jorge Godinho, a graduate level class in Gaming Law at the Masters and Postgraduate Programs in International Business Law at the University of Macau in 2007. Most of the students have law degrees from China, Macau or countries in the Portuguese-speaking world, such as Angola
and East Timor
. Professor Rose has taught the course every June since 2007. He has also participated as the lead judge for students defending their Masters’ theses on issues related to legal gambling.
Professor Rose’s clients include regulators, such as the Arizona Department of Gaming, Delaware State Lottery (regulates sports books and racinos), Illinois Gaming Board, Texas Comptroller (regulated bingo) and New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement. He has also worked with the largest operators, including Nevada and Atlantic City casinos, California cardrooms, state and national lotteries, race tracks, Indian tribes
and online gambling
operators.
Professor Rose has testified as an expert on legal gambling before the California Legislature, Hawaii House of Representative's Finance Committee, New Mexico Legislature
and Oregon Governor's Task Force on Gaming. He has worked with the Florida State Senate on Indian gaming, the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation’s Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering on poker rooms, and the Washington State Gambling Commission
on casinos.
Professor Rose has testified as an expert in cases involving casino gaming; lotteries, including keno and the New York and California State Lotteries; bingo, including mechanical devices in Texas and California; Indian gaming; skill versus chance; the meaning of gambling terms and the legality of proposed games. He has been cited in numerous published court decisions, including quoted by the Supreme Court
s of North Dakota and California.
