Utilizing police calls for service data this study examines the relationship between different crime hotspots across a gaming jurisdiction (Reno, Nevada). Conventional wisdom suggests that casinos play a role in the creation, maintenance, and nature of crime hotspots; however, prior analyses of this relationship have been inconsistent. This study looks at the city’s various crime hotspots and compares them according to crime type and spatial–temporal characteristics to shed light on the impact of gaming on the city’s overall crime problem. Implications for law enforcement agencies are also discussed
