Legal and political experts are advising casino industry workers to divert their attention towards the upcoming races for state office, rather than solely focusing on the highly publicized battle between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the upcoming November presidential election.

Amidst the intense betting activity surrounding the US presidential elections, where betting markets continuously shift after each debate, the casino industry is also eagerly anticipating the elections, which will inevitably shape the political landscape in the USA for the foreseeable future. Both candidates have made promises that could potentially impact the gambling and hospitality sectors, prompting industry insiders to closely monitor the campaign trail.

In an interview with Casino.org, law professor Robert Jarvis from Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard College of Law in Florida emphasized the limited influence presidents have over state gaming regulation. Jarvis highlighted the significance of state elections when it comes to shaping the regulatory framework for the gambling industry.

Political scientist Mark P. Jones from Rice University echoed Jarvis’ sentiments, emphasizing the critical role that state elections play in determining regulatory policies that directly impact the livelihoods of casino workers. Jones emphasized that most regulations are decided at the state level, making it imperative for industry professionals to stay informed and engaged in the upcoming state elections.

The state elections are scheduled to coincide with the presidential election on November 5th, adding an extra layer of significance to the political landscape. As casino workers navigate the ever-changing political environment, staying informed and actively participating in the state elections will be key in shaping the future of the industry.
