ON THE INSPECTION GAME Thomas S. Ferguson and Costis Melolidakis UCLA and Technical University of Crete Abstract. The Inspection Game is a multistage game between a customs inspector and a smuggler, first studied by Melvin Dresher and Michael Maschler in the 1960's. An extension allowing the smuggler to act more than once, treated by Sakaguchi in a special case, is solved. Also, a more natural version of Sakaguchi's problem is solved in the special case where the smuggler may act at each stage.
