Gambling in New York City

Updated Mar 12 2010 03:30 PM EST with 17 listings

Two forms of gambling are legal in New York City: NYS Lottery, and Off-Track Betting (OTB) (betting on horse races, local and distant).
All other gambling for money is illegal without a state license. Such licenses are granted to charities for specific events. Small stakes informal bingo games are also played at church evenings and some recreation centers. Despite its efforts, bookmakers, illegal numbers games (private lottery) and private card games are rumored to thrive in some sections of the city.
But why take any risk, when just an hour or two away are the casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Connecticut?
