Yes, but the extent of the exceptions is the more important question. Probably by the end of 1999. The prohibition has various centers of support. The religious right opposes any form of gambling. The sports leagues oppose any form of sports wagering.
Some state governments fear both the loss of control over gambling and the loss of revenues.
Some argue that in-home gambling presents the greatest potential to create problem gamblers. I have been most impressed with the lobbying strength of the horse racing industry. I assume that it will continue to win favor in Washington and will be granted a broad exception. The lottery industry also will gain some ability to conduct online gambling. I don't see broad exceptions for any other group.
