What the paper says

This Article provides the first detailed description of gambling in American Samoa. In addition to being one of just five inhabited U.S. territories, American Samoa is one of only four U.S. jurisdictions that bans all forms of commercial gambling. As such, it offers a rare opportunity to examine gambling in an anti-gambling society. The fact that American Samoa is located thousands of miles from the U.S. mainland; relies heavily on customs that are quite foreign to most Americans; lacks any sort of system for reporting judicial decisions despite having courts that are precedent-based; and permits charitable gaming (even though it has become a cover for large-scale gambling operators) makes studying the territory even more valuable.
