I could never see how the Feds could say it's OK for NV to do this but not any other state. It seems to me like a Fed created monopoly. I would think every other state should have the same right that NV does.
The bottom line is that most states are going to be run on gambling. It's huge revenue and needed to support deficit budgets. Is it right, probably not.
Gambling has become a huge problem. Embezzlement has skyrocketed because of it. It's created a whole array of problems that Horse Racing never did. Horse Racing has been legal gambling in many states for many years and has not created the problems that casino gambling has.
However, I'm OK with Racing getting some of that pot.
