Machismo: Manifestations of a cultural value in the Latin American casino

W N Thompson. J Gambl Stud. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

Casino operations were observed in twelve Latin American countries. Owners, managers, employees, players, and government regulators in each of these countries were interviewed. The concept of machismo is described in its historical and cultural context. It is then used to illuminate casino operations and the mode of play in existence in these casinos.
