Despite this anomaly the franchise still has to contendwith the standard business challenges including constant change in the operating context.

La sécurité du jeu et le jeu de la sécurité : piratage, loi et politique publique

Le présent rapport est l’objet d’une étude du lien entre les organisations criminelles et le contrôle social dans le domaine de la criminalité informatique. D’abord, nous examinerons quelques attaques montées contre des appareils de jeu électronique. Ensuite, nous analyserons de quelle façon ces cyberattaques ont été commises et quelle est la capacité de l’État et du secteur industriel à les combattre. Enfin, nous comparerons nos conclusions à celles tirées d’autres études sur le piratage dans l’industrie des jeux de hasard et nous discuterons de l’importance de nos conclusions pour les systèmes d’application de la loi, de sécurité et de protection des consommateurs.This paper studies the relationship between criminal organization and social control in the area of computer crime. We examine a “cheat at play” scheme that hacked into electronic gambling machines. We focus on how these cyber-attacks were committed and on the ability of the state and the industry to control them. We compare and contrast our findings with the research on hacking and the gambling industry and conclude by discussing the implications that our research has for law enforcement, security and public policy
