    There was this whole debacle with China: https://theintercept.com/2018/08/01/...ne-censorship/

    I mean, it's a bit of a different situation with China obviously, but there's some degree of precedent for it I guess.

I remember the FOBTs being available well before the same slots were available online. Simply a person who wants to gamble will. My knowledge / my experience - an ex gambling addict.
    Just to add to this:

    I live on the North Carolina side of the border with Virginia. Before we had the lottery, there was a gas station selling lottery tickets just across the state line on pretty much every road out of the state. They had a whole setup with food, plenty of booths for sitting, multiple counters just for selling tickets, etc. Tons of people would drive hours each way for this.

    Now we have the lottery, but we also have betting shops that skirt the electronic gambling laws we have here. They adjust the software each time it changes so that it fits the letter of the law, and it turns into whack a mole. We have these places pretty much all over the state, and they stay packed around the clock despite how crappy the playing conditions are and how the payouts are often lower than the ~50 percent the lottery offers.

    There's a great white paper about these types of games here for anyone interested:

    People are going to gamble, and they'll go through hell or high water to do it.
