In the 1900s, the United States and Europe enforced strict prohibitions on casino games. This prohibition did not stop gambling, but forced it underground into illegal clubs. In 1931, Nevada leaders legalized table games and slots to raise tax money for the state. This legislative change allowed the first licensed casino hotels to open on Fremont Street. Nevada established the Gaming Control Board to monitor casinos, showing that regulation was possible.
