About the Center for Gaming Research

The Center for Gaming Research is a world-class hub for the scholarly analysis of gambling and gaming issues.

Located within Special Collections at UNLV's state-of-the-art Lied Library, its main resource is the Gaming Collection.

Many unique primary resources can be found only within the Collection. We preserve and make accessible company documents, state publications, and other important resources.

The Center is committed to providing support for scholarly inquiry into all aspects of gaming. We serve as an unparalleled resource for students, faculty, and independent scholars.

Students, faculty and community members interested in academically-oriented gaming research are welcome to use the collection.

Through our website, gaming.unlv.edu, we offer several unique research tools and guides to gaming research.
