gambling
Definition(s)
- Gambling has undergone a considerable evolution in the United States; while it was once almost universally considered a crime, many forms of gambling are now considered businesses and receive sanction from states that are active partners via their tax collections, which can range from 7 percent to as much as 75 percent of the total take. Additionally, many states own lottery operations outright, making states agents of promoting gambling. [Source: The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encylopedia; Gambling]
