Abort the gambling explosion

Keep legal gambling in America restricted to Atlantic City and Nevada, or even better, illegal in those places as well.

So you want Prohibition, but for gambling? That'll be just as effective, which is to say, not at all.
 
Well, it was like that (outside Nv and AC), at least for casinos, for a long time. It is like that now, for pot (and just as effective as the earlier Prohibition). So could casinoes, at least, be illegal outside their two bastions?
 
The key may be, as racist it may sound, the natives.

Native ruling groups and individuals thought that gambling would be a good idea to bring money (and they do need it) to the reservations, but there was not always agreement, as many feared - and rightly so probably in hindsight - social issues like gambling dependence levels rising and criminal groups coming in.

So, have more and more opposition, maybe...
