Why Is Las Vegas the Only Place Gambling Is Still Legal Besides Indian Reservations?

Question by orchidmg: Why is Las Vegas the only place gambling is still legal besides Indian reservations?
Plus, why did it become illegal to have those small gambling games in bars when you put in quarters to play but when you win, you never get money out of them, just points on a screen?

I understand many people have had gambling addictions and spend their mortgage money at casinos. But why should their addictions make it illegal for all people when many others have no addiction to gambling?

Answer by LegFuJohnson
I’m curious where you got your information.

Gambling is legal in many places besides Las Vegas and Indian reservations. The entire state of Nevada has casinos, not just Las Vegas.

Atlantic City, NJ has had casinos a lot longer than Indian reservations., and casinos are popping up in dozens of states, not just on Indian land.

I think 48 states have lotteries.

Hard to answer your question when it’s based on really incorrect information. Who told you it was illegal everywhere else?
