Atlantic City's gaming industry is riding a hot streak this month with the arrival of legalized sports betting and the impending opening of two casinos.

The historic meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un could lead to investment opportunities in the rogue nation in the years to come.

Legal gambling put this city on the international map, helping it become larger-than-life – with a mix of kitsch – and a prime example of American excess.

Back when I worked security in an Atlantic City casino, patrons would often ask me, “Which slot machine is the one that’s going to hit?” My usual response was, “If I knew that, I wouldn’t be working here anymore,” followed by a knowing chuckle. Never failed to get at least a smile in return.

Pennsylvania stands to win from the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision opening the way for legal sports betting across the country.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for states to legalize sports betting, the race is on to see who will referee the multibillion-dollar business of gambling on pro and college games.

By ruling Monday that any state can allow sports betting, the nation's highest court set America on track for what may be a historic expansion of its legal gambling offerings.

A Supreme Court decision Monday that could lead many states to legalize sports betting may provide some pocket change for those governments but not enough to help head off looming budget crises in a few years, experts say.
