From the Paper:
"The Legalization of Gambling in the United StatesThis paper will examine the history of legal gambling in the United States, the experiences of New Jersey and Indian tribes with legal casino gaming, and the arguments for and against legal gambling.
Legal gambling in the United States has a history which goes back to the earliest colonial period. The first permanent colonial settlement, Jamestown, was financed in large part by private lotteries in England. The colony itself quickly earned a reputation for gambling in the early 17th Century; settlers were even reputed to have bet their indentured servants in games. Blamed for the settlement's near failure, however, most serious forms of gambling were outlawed in the colony by 1612 (Findlay, 1986, pp. 12-13)."
