For example, lotteries were used to establish or improve dozens of universities and hundreds of secondary schools during the 18th and 19th centuries. A 1769 restriction on lotteries by the British crown became one of many issues which fueled tensions between the Colonies and Britain prior to the American Revolution. Lotteries continued to be used at the state and federal level in the early United States. Gambling businesses slowly developed in various communities.

The lower Mississippi River valley became a hotbed of gambling activity with New Orleans emerging as the nation s leading gambling center. A wave of hostility against gambling in the mid 19th century pushed gambling activity onto boats in the Mississippi River and toward younger territories in the West. Anti-gambling forces in the northeast put an end to lotteries in those locations and this trend spread to some other parts of the country.

The rise of railroads caused passenger travel on the Mississippi to decline, heavily damaging the riverboat casinos revenue.

The increasing legal pressures on gambling gradually created opportunities for illegal operations. During the California Gold Rush, San Francisco became a populous town flush with aspiring prospectors. By the 1850s, the new city had overtaken New Orleans as the gambling capital of the U.S. As California gradually strengthened its laws and its policing of gambling, the practice went underground. Lotteries and other forms of gambling would be revived temporarily in the South and in other areas during Reconstruction. Gambling was extremely popular on the frontier during the settlement of the West; nearly everyone participated in games of chance.
