Hawaii is the only state that prohibits all forms of gambling. For years, Hawaii lawmakers have discussed legalized gambling in the state.
Hawaii state legislature has declined to approve any proposal that would legalize gambling, sports betting, or lotteries in the state. The different legislation was either rejected by committees or not scheduled in time to meet last Thursday’s deadline. All bills currently being considered in this session must move to their final committees in both the House and Senate.
There is no evidence that legalized gambling leads to greater crime or addiction. Honolulu police seized a dozen gambling machines and a firearm from an illegal gaming room in Kalihi last year. Last November, 23 gambling. machines were seized in two illegal game rooms. A month earlier, police raided an. illegal gambling hall and confiscated firearms, drugs, gambling machine and cash.
