Papers by Jorge Godinho
As usually happens in gaming studies, this theme is interdisciplinary: it sits at the crossroads or morals, law, politics, economics and public administration. The approach taken is mostly pragmatic, and therefore the legal analysis undertaken in this discussion is only introductory in nature, as much more could and should be said on the technical legal concepts involved, such as on concessions and public procurement.
The discussion is divided in three parts, linked by two interludes.
The first part presents current frameworks for gaming legalization and focuses on the concept of ‘integrated resort’. At the end of this part, interlude α illustrates possible gaming legalization dynamics.
The second part looks more closely at the decisive moment in which gaming is authorized and concessions are won or lost — the public tender process —, and the criteria specifically used to decide who wins the coveted right to operate gaming. There are various references to the experience of Macau of over 170 years in this field. At the end of this part, interlude β exemplifies policy objectives, claims and promises that may be expressed or agreed during the process.
The third part presents the experience of Singapore in this field, as a very important and influential case of casino gaming legalization in the context of large-scale integrated resorts.
Conclusions and final observations follow, from interdisciplinary points of view, including on the role of players, and the services offered to them, in gaming legalization processes. Observations are also offered from political and business perspectives.
O presente texto procura, num primeiro momento, sedimentar dados conceptuais de base e, de seguida, ilustrar algumas áreas carecidas de desenvolvimento e debate. A ideia geral defendida neste escrito é que importa conferir ao direito do jogo o estatuto que lhe é devido, como disciplina autónoma, o que passa por começar por reconhecer os contratos de jogo enquanto tais. Nesta base, cabe, na medida do possível, proteger o jogador-consumidor e combater práticas abusivas. Ao Estado incumbe desenvolver uma supervisão adequada. Há que encarar o sector do jogo «a sério» e não como uma mera fonte de receita para os cofres públicos.

O primeiro volume explicita o que é esta área do direito, como se delimita e quais são as suas principais fontes, bem como as questões e perspectivas em que assenta.
Este volume fornece a chave do entendimento interdisciplinar da disciplina e da articulação dos seus três grandes vectores: o direito dos contratos, o direito administrativo e o direito penal. Inclui um esboço, parcial, da história do jogo em Macau, do início até ao período da década de 1930.
A obra recorta os contratos de jogo no âmbito dos contratos aleatórios e aponta os seus elementos essenciais. Por outro lado, estabelece uma tipologia dos contratos de jogo. São tecidas considerações gerais sobre a indústria do jogo, o aspecto central do direito do jogo moderno.
A obra procura identificar a ética da regulação e os valores que transporta, logo as atitudes e os modos de pensar e de agir que conduzem ao cumprimento da lei e, em particular, o que é um modo profissional e responsável de agir nesta área.
