Abstract<br />

On January 12, 2009, Taiwan Legislative Yuan passed the amended Article 10-2 to the Isolated Islands<br />

Construction Act which allows casinos to be established in the isolated islands. Thus, Taiwan officially jumped on<br />

the “casino bandwagon” like the rest of the developed countries. Later in the same year, Penghu held the first ever<br />

referendum, voters were asked whether to allow casino gaming in Penghu. The first effort failed. Votes rejected<br />

by the margin of 56.44% to 43.56%. However, unaffected by the result, the Ministry of Transportation and<br />

Communications insisted to go ahead with planned schedules and prepared to finish casino related works by year<br />

2011.<br />

Establishing a good tax system can bring healthy tax revenues, provide welfare assistance to poor and elder<br />

citizens, and increase employment rates.<br />

This paper introduces and analyzes the New Jersey casino tax regulations. The purposes of this paper are to<br />

stimulate further discussions, researches, and also in hope of helping lawmakers to establish a good casino tax<br />

system.<br />

Key words: Casino, Gambling, Atlantic City, Casino Tax Regulations<br />
