RANGEL TORRIJO, Hugo. Las políticas democráticas de la industria del juego: Un estudio comparativo de América del Norte. Norteamérica [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.1, pp.109-137. ISSN 2448-7228.

This study analyzes the gaming industry in North America and public policies, legislation, tax status, transparency, and the industry's public nature for the common good, including care for gambling addiction. Analyzing its democratic profile, it shows that Mexico suffers from sharp deficiencies and contradictions in this terrain. In contrast, the United States and Canada have constructed this sector for the public benefit through transparent institutions and more democratic principles. The author argues that restructuring this industry is necessary for building democracy in Mexico.
