Indian casinos fuel rise in gambling
Back in the early 1960s, no states ran lotteries, only one — Nevada — allowed casinos, and Indian tribes had yet to discover bingo or glitzy casino halls. Today, 42 states operate lotteries, 37 have commercial, Indian or racetrack casinos and only two — Utah and Hawaii — don’t allow any form of gambling.
