Gambling began in the U.S. as soon as the land was first settled by colonists. In the early 1600s, puritans who acted as the moral authority of colonies outlawed gambling completely. They outlawed all games that could be used for gambling, including cards, dice, and even tables which looked like they may be used for gambling purposes. As the time passed on, puritans became less strict on their anti-gambling stance, and allowed gambling for recreation purposes. The English colonies did not see a problem with gambling, however, and looked upon it as a gentleman’s activity. Not soon after, people began to blame the colonies economic problems on gambling.
Some early colonies held lotteries in order to raise money for their colony. These lotteries were soon stopped because the thought was that England was losing their rightful money. As the country continued to grow, gambling grew right along with it. The Wild West was being inhabited and built into colonies. Gambling was also becoming famous on the Mississippi river.
Ordinary gamblers were targeted by the top card players of the time, and often cheated out of their hard-earned money by “professional” gamblers. Around the time 1830 rolled around, southern people realized what was going on and had enough of the professional gamblers. In 1835, southerners began lynching professional card cheaters, thus putting a stop to the cheating on mainland. The card sharks and cheaters all took to riverboats, adopting the name “Riverboat Gamblers.”
The Gold Rush in California was the spark which ignited the newest upsurge in the country’s gambling. The peak of gambling in California was in the early 1850s, and during this time, San Francisco became the biggest gambling city in the United States, replacing Los Angeles. During this time, the cost to set up a gambling house was extremely inflated.
Before long, many of the western states were allowing and promoting gambling. Soon after, laws were passed that prohibited gambling in California. Troubled gamblers were shedding bad light on the industry, and people quickly took notice of the downside of gambling and what it did to the economy.
But where California saw failure, other states saw opportunity. Las Vegas, Nevada is the most famous gambling site in the world today. Other states in the U.S. also allow forms of gambling, including Atlantic City, New Jersey where you can find an atmosphere of various casinos and resorts, similar to Las Vegas. Connecticut also has a casino, The Mohegan Sun, which is the nation’s largest casino resort.
There are also many other types of gambling houses in various states. In 2006, President George W. Bush signed a bill into affect that prohibited banks from accepting and transferring funds from citizens into online casinos and other gambling sites; though it is still technically legal for citizens of most states to gamble online. Ironically enough, Nevada and New Jersey are among two of the states in the U.S. who do not allow online gambling at all.
