87% of Nevada's tourists specifically come to play these machines, and on average Nevada makes around 9 billion dollars a year due to the slots. If Nevada had a lottery, these statistics have a high probability of changing dramatically.

If a lottery was introduced, this could cause a negative effect to Nevada's economy. Casinos contribute a great deal of jobs in the state and having a lottery could potentially produce various business to lose vast amounts of money.

The gaming industry in Las Vegas, which dates back to the days before the city was officially founded, is much more than just a piece of “Sin City’s” multi-faceted entertainment front: the industry has rescued and sustained its city’s economy, and continues to foster its fiscal growth and urban expansion – gambling has been an essential part of Vegas’ success. Gambling was part of Las Vegas’ culture before the city’s inception and continued despite regulations banning it. In the 1850’s, prospectors hoping to cash in on the gold rush ravaged the largely unsettled American West.

By 1974, gaming revenue topped $1 billion, and just below 50% of Nevada’s state budget was supported by gaming taxes.
When a tourist visits Las Vegas, there is a very good chance that Steve Wynn had a hand in establishing the property they are visiting. Developer of multiple properties on the Las Vegas Strip, Steve Wynn redefined the culture of Las Vegas and subsequently his ideas became the rule rather than the exception. His innovation and ironic eye for design has lead to vast recognition including multiple five-star and five-diamond awards.

Abstract: Internet gambling has become one of the hottest areas of the web, both in the sheer volume of sites and quantity of money involved. Increasing controversy is accompanying this new industry, as federal and state government officials scramble to update legislation that restricts interstate wagering. This paper examines the roots of Internet gambling and exposes some of the motivations driving the heated debate over its legitimacy. The business-to-consumer sector of the Internet commerce arena contains the most lucrative and fastest growing web-based industry: online gambling, which includes sports wagering, casino-style games and lotteries [1]. In a September 11th article from last year, Wired on-line reported statistics from Websense, which tallied over 21, 000 websites devoted to gambling - a figure up 169% from the total just six months prior [2].
