“From the start, Nevada was against lotteries,” David Schwartz, the director of the University of Las Vegas’ Center for Gaming Research, told Nexstar’s KLAS in 2016.Īs Schwartz explained, lotteries were viewed as crooked “early on,” whereas other forms of gambling - like those often played on casino floors - were tolerated. These games include “bingo, raffles and lotteries, pull-tab games, ice classics, race classics, rain classics, goose classics, mercury classics, deep freeze classics, canned salmon classics, salmon classics, king salmon classics, dog mushers’ contests, snow classics, snow machine classics, fish derbies, animal classics, crane classics, cabbage classics, Calcutta pools, big bull moose derbies, and contests of skill,” according to state laws. Non-profits or municipalities can apply to host “games of chance” only if the revenue supports an approved charitable endeavor. The state’s tribal casinos, for that reason, largely offer bingo or pull-tab games.Ĭharitable gaming, meanwhile, is authorized within the state. For decades, however, Alaska has been very careful in authorizing which types of charitable gaming is actually allowed, due to a clause in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act that would require the state to allow tribal casinos to operate the same games, according to local outlet KTUU.
