Gambling in Mexico
Gambling in Mexico was only made legal very recently. It was allowed around the turn of the century, but when the reformist president Lazaro Cardenas came into power in 1935, he made gambling illegal. The laws tightened in 1946, all but killing off the Mexican gambling industry. Within the past few years, this grip has slackened. Today, players in Mexico can enjoy legal casino gambling, poker, bingo, and even sportsbooks. The change is happening quickly, and it is projected that a few years from now, there will be more than 35 major casino operations in Mexico, all situated along the US border, as much of the country's gambling revenues come from foreign tourists.

Online Gambling in Mexico
Interestingly, online gambling in Mexico has been around since 2002, when the government issued licenses to a couple of companies, letting them offer gambling services over the internet. These sites, however, are for foreign players only – they do not cater to Mexican gamblers. Players in Mexico wanting to gamble online can just use foreign gambling websites. There are hundreds of such websites on the internet, and many offer Spanish-language services. With these sites, players can enjoy real-money poker, casino games, sports betting, bingo, and other forms of internet gambling in Mexico.
