Thanks for reading! The main difference between gambling back in the day and modern gambling is accessibility. I can bet my entire life's savings with the click of a button from my couch. 20 years ago you had to get off your ass, drive to a casino, hit up the ATM, and put the money down. It is a lot more steps to place the bet.

I think in terms of lotto and casino gambling, the state supports both, here in CO casinos brought in over $1,200,000,000 in revenue. The tax revenue on gaming alone is well over $160,000,000 over the last 12 months. Not chump change!
