I recently looked into the history of gambling in California and found it quite fascinating. Gambling has had a complex legal history here, with the state's constitution originally prohibiting it in 1850. However, things have changed over time, and now various forms of gambling are legal, with Native American casinos becoming legal in the late 1980s. Card rooms, horse racing, and the state lottery are also currently legal, but sports betting is still prohibited. It's intriguing to see how the legality of gambling in California has evolved over the years.
