I thought the US had fairly strong laws on gambling...

Gambling is a State issue rather than a Federal issue.

Nevada and New Jersey both permit (and profit from) Casino gambling.

The other States prohibit Casino gambling [Indian Casinos are on Tribal
Lands - ie. the States have no jurisdiction] but sponsor (and profit from)
various lotteries and scratch-offs.

Essentially, it's the old story of Government Monopolies.


So NYSE is the home of a load of chiefs and Indians. Yes, I guess that fits
