When did gambling become legal in the US?

In 1931, the state of Nevada set the wheels in motion for the legalization of gambling. With the country reeling from the effects of the Great Depression, Nevada saw an opportunity to boost its revenue by legalizing various forms of gambling. This move proved to be a success, as other states soon followed suit. Notably, South Maryland emerged as a popular destination for gambling enthusiasts, offering legal slot machines from 1949 to 1968. Atlantic City, New Jersey also joined the ranks of gambling havens by legalizing gambling in 1977. Despite these advancements, it is important to note that not all states have embraced the legalization of gambling to this day.
