How the South Joined the Gambling Nation by Michael Nelson
Examines how modern southern US state governments have decided whether to adopt or prohibit casinos and lotteries. Nelson and Mason point out that although the South participated fully in past gambling eras, it is the last region to join the modern movement embracing legalized gambling.
