ABSTRACT

In recent years, gaming has been presented as a flourishing industry. Most of the gaming tours are not only designed for gambling, but also for other recreational activities. Tourist casinos are a source of ‘no-pain’ tax; that is why governments set up tourist casinos to create more opportunities for earning money during the recession. Casinos have become major tourist attractions and are acknowledged to attract millions of tourists to travel destinations (Park, Yang, Lee, Jang & Stokowski, 2002; Wong & Rosenbaum, 2012). Gaming is an emerging travel style that is growing rapidly with flow experiences playing a critical role for participation in and desire for these activities. Worldwide, the gaming industry is expanding at a rapid pace, and as a result, the increasingly diverse global patterns of travel are also expanding.
