What is America's view on American gambling cases?

The American view is that gambling is illegal and should be punished by law. Federal laws and most state laws in the United States prohibit gambling, treat it as a crime and impose severe punishment. Federal law stipulates that anyone who participates in unauthorized gambling activities may be prosecuted and sentenced to up to five years' imprisonment and a fine of $250,000. On the other hand, the US government also admits that gambling is legal in some cases. For example, the federal government allows legal gambling activities, such as sports competitions, sports betting, car races, gambling activities in Las Vegas and other places. In addition, the government also allows legal gambling services to be provided in legal gambling institutions, such as casinos in Las Vegas. Therefore, the attitude of the US government towards gambling is that gambling is legal only under certain circumstances.
