Although limited now, the market is expected to grow rapidly. First, this is because of favorable public attitudes towards gambling-type pastimes, as evidenced by the popularity of stock trading and of Macau casinos among Mainland citizens. Second, since the government can make money by licensing operators and taxing ticket sales, and since legalized gambling can increase the circulation of cash in the economy, Beijing is considering permitting more lotteries as well as horse racing and casinos. The report examines the total lottery market size and breaks it down by lottery type and region. Issues covered include related legislation, welfare lotteries, sports lotteries, lotteries for the elderly, one-off event lotteries, Internet gambling, lottery ticket outlet concessions, computerized lotteries, educational lotteries, the problem of instant wealth in Chinese society, legalized gambling in Hong Kong, the Macau gambling monopoly, lottery hotlines, and video game arcades.
