Ever since the Department of Justice released its legal opinion allowing some leeway for states to develop their own gambling sites, many are jumping on board. However, other states are doing the exact opposite, and are taking steps to prevent any online gambling legalization.
Thanks to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, Nevada and New Jersey are known as gambling states, so it comes as no surprise that they would be the first to jump on board with online casinos. The two are rushing to make a law that does not violate the current bill. Washington D.C. is also developing online gambling, especially poker, and Kentucky is looking into online lottery ticket sales.
Florida and New York aren’t looking to the online industry for gambling, but are actually considering building brick-and-mortar casinos.
However, Texas professional player Mark Gorman is skeptical, as the law can change if President Obama is not reelected.
Which state do you think will be the first to find a way to legalize online roulette, poker or lottery tickets? How fast do you think online gambling will become legalized in the U.S.?
