If gambling is causing a problem in your life we encourage you to ask questions, gather information and conduct research on the type of help that is most appropriate for your situation. This information is intended to be a starting point—it is not a complete list of information or services.
The primary ingredients fueling the lawlessness were the illicit liquor business, illegal gambling and a national car-theft ring based in the city. The decadelong crime spree earned Bowling Green. Kentucky is not a gambling-friendly state by any means. Actually, it could have some of the strictest laws around gambling in the entire country. That being said, Kentucky does have minimal options for those looking to press their luck, including the famously known Kentucky Derby.
