English term or phrase: destination gambling
Critics and advocates also agree that the economic impacts of gambling will vary depending upon the kind of gambling in question. In so-called destination gambling, bettors go to a particular location to gamble - such as a casino or a racetrack - where restaurants, shopping and entertainment typically enhance the gambling activity. Convenience gambling - such as state lotteries and Internet gambling - lacks revenue-generating extras.

En contraposición al juego accesible en cualquier lado (kiosco, negocio de lotería del barrio, vendedor ambulante de billetes), el jugador se traslada explícitamente a un destino cierto (Las Vegas, Hipódromo de San Isidro, etc) para jugar.
