State Laws: Lotteries Appear Best Poised to Capture New Opportunities
Lottery Laws: Typically, open-ended and generally permissive legislation. State government operates and conducts. Example: New Jersey. “It shall be lawful for the Legislature to authorize the conduct of State lotteries restricted to the selling of rights to participate therein and the awarding of prizes by drawings when the entire net proceeds of any such lottery shall be for State institutions and State aid for education … .” N.J. Const., Art. IV, Sec. 7, Par. 2., Subpar. C. Legislature enacted various statutes to enable NJ Lottery. First, the Legislature creating a Division of Lottery within the Department of Treasury as well as a State Lottery Commission. N.J.S.A. 5:9-1 to -7. The Legislature adopted statutes setting forth the Division’s and the Commission’s authorities and administrative and regulatory duties, as well as other aspects of operating the state- run lottery. N.J.S.A. 5:9-7.1 to -25. Gambling Laws: Narrowly tailored, a blanket prohibition and following with specific exceptions Private enterprise operates and conducts subject to strict oversight and regulation by state government Example: New Jersey. “No gambling of any kind shall be authorized by the Legislature unless the specific kind, restrictions and control thereof have been heretofore submitted to, and authorized by a majority of the votes cast by, the people at a special election or shall hereafter be submitted to, and authorized by a majority of the votes cast thereon by, the legally qualified voters of the State voting at a general election, except that, without any such submission or authorization: … casino gambling.” Attorney Advertising / DLA Piper LLP (US) / All Rights Reserved NCLGS Summer Meeting | June 9, 2017

Brett Hildabrand (R – Shawnee). “Legalized casino gaming in New Jersey presently stands at a crossroads, facing critical challenges … , and it is in the public interest to modernize and streamline the current outdated casino regulatory structure … .” “The ability of the legalized casino gaming industry in New Jersey to compete in an ever-expanding national gaming market requires a regulatory system that is sufficiently flexible … .” N.J.S.A. 5:12-1b(18)(19). “Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant says he wants legislators to make a late-session push to enact a lottery to possibly generate tens of millions of dollars a year to boost the state budget.” Associated Press, Clarion Ledger (Feb. 23, 2017). In response to a question on $1B in new capital investment and 5k jobs, “We’d be rolling out the red carpet.” Sen.
