The Old School Days Of Legalized Gambling Were A Heady Time

DraftKings and FanDuel are getting a lot of press these days, but it all started in Vegas, baby!

Ed. note: Welcome to our latest daily feature, a legal trivia question of the day. We know you lawyerly types are, at heart, type-A personalities that thrive on learning random bits of (mostly) useless trivia. Enjoy!

What year was gambling legalized in Nevada?

Hint: With all the recent hoopla surrounding the legality of daily fantasy games (like the ubiquitous DraftKings and FanDuel), I thought it appropriate to take the daily trivia question back to the old school days of legal gambling. If you’re trying to remember when the movie Bugsy was set to answer this question, I’ll note it pre-dates the gangster’s arrival in the desert.

Highlight the below text with your mouse for the answer.

Answer: 1931. Bugsy Siegel didn’t open the Flamingo until 1946.
