As a hobby, David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Studies, photographs casino carpets. Clockwise from upper left: NYNY (Las Vegas); Boomtown (Biloxi, Miss.); Barona (California tribal); Resorts (Atlantic City); Slots o Fun (Las Vegas); Ameristar St. Charles (Missouri riverboat). Many still think only of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, but Schwartz says, "Americans are never far from a chance to take a chance."
