Unironically ban all gambling

    Not too many places in the US as far as I've seen, but that is everywhere even vaguely near Las Vegas.

    Though you can buy those 'scratch offs' (I think) everywhere in the US, usually at supermarkets and gas stations.

      You can get scratch offs at any Finnish supermarket and kiosk (think 7/11 but wayyyyyyy smaller and with a way smaller selection) :shrug-outta-hecks:

      All gambling (with the exception of dubiously legal foreign online gambling) over here is run by a government-owned company

        Denmark also have a government-owned gambling company that does lotto, scratch-offs and sports betting. They're present at every kiosk and supermarket and also run a sizable online casino. They used to have a monopoly on gambling but due to the EU's liberal orthodoxy the "gambling market" was "liberalised" opening up for predatory betting companies to suck money out of poor people.
