Interesting gambling information:

  • The name of the game "Poker" likely descended from the French poque, which descended from the German pochen ("to knock"), but it is not clear whether the games named by those terms were the real origins of poker.
  • The most popular forms of illegal games are "numbers", which is essentially a lottery, and betting with bookies, typically sports betting.
  • In 1911 US legislation prohibited stud poker but ruled that draw poker was a game of skill and therefore was not illegal.
  • Dog racing (a race among greyhounds who chase after a mechanical rabbit) operates in 17 states. Jai-alai (a game similar to handball) is legal in just three: Connecticut, Florida, and Rhode Island.
