Oral histories for this project have primarily been conducted by the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Oral histories are published in the UNLV Gaming Law Journal, a journal of legal scholarship dedicated to analyzing the law and policy implications of gaming case law, legislation, administrative regulations, and important gaming legal events. Transcripts of the oral histories are available online at https://scholars.law.unlv.edu/glj/

Born in the Philippines in 1954 , Kate Torres Recto, grew up pampered as the youngest of four children and as the daughter of an aristocratic family. She recalls having maids and drivers, and she describes her mother's sense of fashion. But she also remembers how her parents raised her and her siblings to respect their elders, to be kind, and to be compassionate. In turn, as Kate raised her six children mostly as a single mother, she, too, instilled those values in them.
