Gambling In Pre-Statehood Alaska, Robert M. Jarvis Mar 2026

Gambling In Pre-Statehood Alaska, Robert M. Jarvis

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

This article concerns gambling in Alaska in the period prior to statehood (1867– 1958). While the courts in this era did not generate very many gambling opinions, the ones they did issue provide a feel for what life was like in the region. In addition, Alaska’s current ban on most forms of gambling can be directly traced back to its first gambling law (1884).


Betting The House: Why The Safe Bet Act Is A Long Shot To Survive Constitutional Scrutiny Under The Commerce Clause And Anti-Commandeering Doctrine, Jared Weingard Mar 2026

Betting The House: Why The Safe Bet Act Is A Long Shot To Survive Constitutional Scrutiny Under The Commerce Clause And Anti-Commandeering Doctrine, Jared Weingard

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

The rapid expansion of legalized sports gambling following Murphy v. NCAA has raised concerns about problem gambling, predatory marketing, and inconsistent state regulations. In response, the SAFE Bet Act, introduced by Representative Paul Tonko, seeks to impose nationwide standards on sports betting.

Making Sense Of The State's Duty To Negotiate In Good Faith Under Igra: The "Permits Such Gaming" Requirement And Legitimate State Interests In Gaming Compact Negotiations, Kathryn R.L. Rand, Steven Andrew Light Sep 2025

Making Sense Of The State's Duty To Negotiate In Good Faith Under Igra: The "Permits Such Gaming" Requirement And Legitimate State Interests In Gaming Compact Negotiations, Kathryn R.L. Rand, Steven Andrew Light

UNLV Gaming Law Journal

Under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), a tribe may conduct Class III or casino-style gaming only in a state that “permits such gaming” and in accordance with an approved compact between the tribe and the state. But the appropriate interpretation of IGRA’s “permits such gaming” requirement and how it relates to the state’s duty to negotiate gaming compacts in good faith remain murky more than 35 years after IGRA was enacted, hindering both compact negotiations between individual states and tribes and the entire tribal gaming industry. In this Article, we clarify and develop legal standards to apply to …
