The following forms of gambling are legal within the state:
The state seems stuck in the past as it does not even license or regulate its own Commercial Casinos. The State of Connecticut may be one of the more Liberal states, in general, but you wouldn’t know it from their gambling laws. Connecticut currently has no regulated online gambling, but we expect they may within the next several years. Tracks can theoretically offer live racing, and certainly did in the past, but none currently do.
In addition to land-based casinos with full offerings operated by the tribes with whom Connecticut works closely the state has legal and regulated charitable gambling, simulcast racing wagering and lottery.
Short Summary: Connecticut is somewhat liberal when it comes to gambling laws.
