隨著台灣立法院在2009年1月12日三讀通過離島建設條例修正方案，讓離島博奕除罪化，將來可以開放國際觀光旅館業者前來投標建設賭場，政府規劃將來澎湖所開發的是觀光休閒式綜合賭場。觀光休閒式綜合賭場所帶動的產業發展浪潮，不僅僅是博奕產業而已，還包括周邊的休閒旅遊、交通建設、科技應用…等等，其所衍生的商機與工作機會，不容小覷！
台灣以往並無任何學校或訓練機構有過正規培養觀光博奕人才的經驗，應如何面對即將到臨的觀光博奕產業人力培訓需求？如果，將來台灣要進行觀光博奕人才之培訓，市場上有沒有已成功且具有品牌、口碑之學程或訓練機構，值得台灣與其合作或向這個機構學習其成功要素呢？
本研究在搜集博奕人才培訓產業相關資訊的過程中，發現有一個學程很特別，這個學程是針對賭場經營者與賭場高階主管所開設的高階博奕管理課程，課程開課迄今，已屹立18 年而未見競爭敵手。這個課程就是美國內華達州立大學雷諾校區「博奕與商業遊戲研究所」的 Executive Development Program。該學程由博奕教父 William R. Eadington 博士所主持。
因此，本研究將以探索性研究的方式，深入探討這個學程的特色、課程內容，以及其成功因素，以探討其可學習之長處為何。

As the regulation-amended proposal of the isolated-island construction passed its third reading in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan on January 12th, 2009, gambling on the isolated-island was legalized. The international tourist hotel industry will be allowed to come to build casinos in the future and the government is planning to develop casino resorts in Penghu. Development of Casino resorts promotes not only gambling industry but also tourism, construction of transportation and application of technology. Moreover, the opportunity of job-looking and business derived by the development of casino resorts is too huge to be underestimated.

Taiwan's past, there is no school or training institutions had a formal training of tourism personnel game experience, should be how to face the upcoming tour of the temporary manpower training needs of game industry? If the future of Taiwan Tourism to train Chinese game market has not been successful and have a brand, word-of-mouth way of learning or training institutions, it is Taiwan or to cooperate with the agencies to learn their key to success this?

In this study, I found a particular program which held by the Institute of game play and business in University of Nevada, Reno campus. It is called Executive Development Program and directed by Dr. William R. Eadington, the Godfather of gambling program. This program is designed for casino operators and casino executives. To date, this program has been set up for eighteen years and we haven’t seen any competitive opponents in the market.

Therefore, this study will be conducted in qualitative methods to discuss thoroughly the features, contents and success factors of this program and explore the strengths it owns that we can learn from.
