What are the odds? Test your gambling knowledge

Daryl Paranada Feb 21, 2013

UPDATE: Nevada has approved interstate online gaming. The governor signed a bill yesterday afternoon that allows the Silver State to negoitate online gambling agreements directly with other states. 

Delaware has also declared itself the first state with a “broad spectrum” of legalized online gambling and USA Today reports that “online wagers would generate at least $3.75 million in revenue for fiscal 2013.” And this week, New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie confirmed that he would sign a bill legalizing online gambling in his state.

Other states — including Mississippi, Iowa and California — could follow suit.

So if it is going to become that much easier to gamble, now may be the time to brush up on your awareness of what games provide the best return-on-investment. And stay tuned to this weekend’s Marketplace Money, where we talk with a gambling expert about how to win online and what to watch out for when playing in an Internet casino.
