Gambling has a long legacy in New Jersey lotteries were common place until 1844 and even helped pay the military during the French-Indian War and The Revolutionary War. In 1844 they were banned.
Freehold Raceway is the oldest racetrack in the United States and Monmouth Park Racetrack opened in 1870. Theoretically, from 1894 to 1939, all gambling was outlawed in New Jersey, but Bookmaking, numbers games, and slot machines were common, churches openly held bingos, and Freehold Raceway operated without interruption.
In 1976, New Jersey voters voted for new referendum which legalized casinos, but restricted them to Atlantic City and in 1978 Resorts became the first casino to open in NJ.
In 2018, the court issued its opinion about the case of Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association and the decision, ruling that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act was unconstitutional and clearing the way for sports betting.
