State-run and state-sanctioned lotteries occupy a unique position in the broader gaming landscape.

Retailers blasted entire email lists with identical twenty-percent-off coupons, subscription services offered generic trial extensions, and casual dining chains handed out punch cards that invariably ended up lost in car consoles. These incentives were treated...

For decades, the appeal of traditional bingo lived in the sensory and social hum of the hall: the clatter of plastic balls tumbling in a wire cage, the familiar cadence of the caller’s voice, the smell of fresh coffee, and the collective intake of breath when several players were waiting...

The fundamental challenge of sports betting and online gaming does not stem from an inability to pick winners. It stems from an inability to survive losing streaks.
