The American Gaming Association (AGA) is a United States gaming industry association.

The AGA was founded in 1995 with the goal of promoting, educating and lobbying on behalf of the gaming entertainment industry through education and advocacy. They address federal legislative and regulatory issues affecting its members and their employees and customers, such as federal taxation, regulatory issues, and travel and tourism matters.

The AGA also attempts to serve as the gaming industry's information clearinghouse, providing the public, the media and decision makers timely, accurate gaming industry data.

AGA members include major casino operators, financial and professional service companies, suppliers of gaming products, as well as representatives of state or regional gaming associations.

Each year the AGA sponsors a major gaming trade show, the Global Gaming Expo.

A Chinese auction is a type of auction (actually a combination of auction and raffle) that is typically featured at charity or other fundraising events.

In a Chinese auction, bidders are not prospective buyers (as in the conventional English auction). Instead, they buy tickets, which are essentially chances to win items. Bidders may buy as many tickets as they like, and bid them on any item(s) they want by placing them in a basket or other container in front of the item(s) they are trying to win. At the conclusion of bidding, the winning ticket is drawn from the tickets bid on each item, and the item is given to the owner of that ticket.
