  • Indiana Youth Gambling Behavior 2016
    Indiana Youth Gambling Behavior Findings from the Indiana Prevention Resource Center, Annual Survey 2016 Introduction The following report contains data on adolescent gambling behavior reported by adolescents through the Annual Survey of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Use by Indiana Children and Adolescents, conducted by the Indiana Prevention Resource Center at Indiana University Bloomington. This survey is a self-report instrument for students in grades six through twelve. The survey is undertaken annually by the Indiana Prevention Resource Center and is used by state agencies, counties, schools and communities in Indiana to monitor the incidence and prevalence of adolescent problem behaviors and the environmental factors that put children at risk or protect them from developing those behaviors. As gambling options and venues in the state expand, monitoring the prevalence of gambling activities among children and adolescents is increasingly important for planning prevention efforts. All gambling- related questions asked about behavior and experiences in the past year. The Indiana Youth Survey included questions about playing cards, betting on games, betting on sports, buying lottery tickets, gambling in a casino, and playing online for money. Gambling Behavior The gambling section now contains a brief explanatory introduction, which reads: “Gambling is playing a game in an attempt to win money (any amount) or something of value (like a video game, bike, iPod). You could gamble on a game or an event. Gambling means you don’t know if you will win or lose.” The first question asked: “During the past 12 months, how often have you bet/ gambled for money or valuables in the following ways? Gambling can be done in a variety of settings, including with family and friends.” The forms of gambling that were referred to in the survey are indicated in Table 19.

  • Illegal Gambling Faqs the Gaming Control Division
    Illegal Gambling FAQs The Gaming Control Division investigates illegal gambling in Indiana. Below are some of the Frequently Asked Questions posed to our Officers. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask. You can email via the “Contact Us” tab on our website or call 317-233- 0046. 1. What are the laws that make gambling illegal? Illegal gambling laws may be found in Indiana Code 35-45-5. 2. How do I provide information on illegal gambling? The Gaming Control Division keeps sources of all information and tips confidential. To help us reduce illegal gambling in Indiana, please call 1-(866) 610-TIPS (8477) or utilize the “Contact Us” tab on our website. 3. What is the definition of gambling? "Gambling" means risking money or other property for gain, contingent in whole or in part upon lot, chance, or the operation of a gambling device. If one of these elements of the gambling definition is removed, then the activity is legal. 4. Are card games, such as poker, games of chance? Yes. The illegal gambling statute specifically provides that “a card game or an electronic version of a card game is a game of chance and may not be considered a bona fide contest of skill.” See IC 35-45-5-1(l). Thus, games like poker and euchre are considered gambling if played for money. 5. What is a bona fide game of skill? Bona fide games of skill include games where one can control the results or enhance their abilities through training. Examples include: sporting events, memory games, golf, horseshoes, darts, pool, scrabble, and trivia.

  • Sports Betting in Indiana: the Proposed Legislation After Murphy V
    SPORTS BETTING IN INDIANA: THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION AFTER MURPHY V. NCAA PLACIDO A. ZAMBRANO* INTRODUCTION Americans wagered $158 million legally approximately $4.76 billion on Super Bowl LII at the Nevada sportsbooks.1 The American Gaming Commission projected that across the United States, individuals wagered $4.76 billion on Super Bowl LII and placed 97 percent of those total bets illegally.2 This estimate equated to more than $4.6 billion in illegal sports betting.3 Nationwide, Americans illegally bet between $150 billion and $450 billion on sports every year.4 When the NBA Finals, the NFL Super Bowl, or the MLB World Series are underway, Indiana residents cannot legally place their bets on the game because in Indiana, placing a bet with a sports bookmaker is punishable as a level six felony.5 However, Hoosiers across the state still rush to call their illegal sports bookmakers and place their bets on upcoming sporting events.6 Betting illegally on sports might soon be a thing of the past for Hoosiers because of the recent Supreme Court decision in Murphy v. NCAA.7 Indiana residents are excited by the possibility of legal sports betting because now they can place their bets “away from the shadows of secrecy and stigmatization.”8 Indiana casinos share that excitement; as Matt Bell, the President of the Indiana Casino Association, stated, “the [Murphy] decision creates an opportunity for * J.D.

    Indiana Law Review Volume 47 2014 Number 4 A LOOK BACK: DEVELOPING INDIANA LAW POST-BENCH REFLECTIONS OF AN INDIANA SUPREME COURT JUSTICE SELECTED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INDIANA CONSTITUTIONAL LAW (1993-2012) FRANK SULLIVAN, JR.* ** As a Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court for almost nineteen years (from late-1993 until mid-2012), I participated in the adjudication of claims implicating the Indiana Constitution. In this Article, I will describe some selected developments in Indiana Constitutional law during this timeframe. I will not attempt to try to cover everything, but instead will identify and detail several major themes and also discuss the varying approaches to answering constitutional questions deployed by my fellow justices and me. I ask the reader to appreciate that this Article contains some highly personal reflections. It is not an argument but neither is it entirely objective. I. THE RENAISSANCE IN STATE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW When I joined the Indiana Supreme Court in November, 1993, a Renaissance in State Constitutional Law was underway. I call it a Renaissance (others have called it a Revolution1) because state constitutions had always been the subject of attention by lawyers and courts. Indiana re-wrote its Constitution from scratch in 1851, and the Indiana Supreme Court was routinely called on to interpret it. * Professor of Practice, Indiana University Robert H.
