Gaming law is the set of rules and regulations that apply to the gaming or gambling industry. Gaming law is not a branch of law in the traditional sense but rather is a collection of several areas of law that include criminal law, regulatory law, constitutional law, administrative law, company law, contract law, and in some jurisdictions, competition law. At common law, gambling requires consideration, chance and prize, legal terms that must be analyzed by gaming lawyers within the context of any gaming operation.[1]

Gaming law is enormously complex. In the United States, it involves federal and state law considerations.[2][3] In Canada, it involves federal and provincial law considerations, in a variety of legal disciplines.[4]
United States[edit]
In the United States, illegal gambling is a federal crime if it is done as a business.[2] However, each of its states has its own laws regarding the regulation or prohibition of gambling.[3] States that permit such gaming usually have a gaming control board established to oversee the regulation of the industry, such as licensing of those employed in the gaming industry. States that permit casinos and similar forms of gaming often have strict zoning regulations to keep such establishments away from schools and residential areas.
Ukraine[edit]
Parliament outlawed gambling in 2009 after a May 2009 fire in a gambling hall in Dnipropetrovsk that killed nine people. The Ukrainian parliament passed the law 'On Prohibition of Gambling Business in Ukraine' (Gambling Ban Law) banning gambling business and any participation in gambling in Ukraine on May 15. The President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko signed the law on June 23 and on June 25 it came into force. The Law On Prohibition of Gambling Business in Ukraine also applied to internet casinos, it did not apply to lotteries.Parliament legalised gambling again on 14 July 2020. Albeit with regulations and age restrictions (minimum age of 22).[5]

The latest slot from Endorphina is timed to coincide with the Chinese New Year. Golden Ox is a 5-reel, 50-line game that's available in desktop and mobile formats.
The Chinese Year of the Ox begins on 12th February 2021, and to celebrate, Endorphina has just launched a brand new online slot. Golden Ox is a PC and mobile game played out over 5 reels and 50 lines, where players can discover wild substitutions, free games, and a gamble option.
Join The Celebrations
Lotus flowers, lucky koi fish, red lanterns, and firecrackers are among the classic Asian-inspired symbols on the 5 reels of the Golden Ox slot. The firecrackers deliver the top prizes, with 2x the stake returned when players land 5 of a kind across a line, while playing card emblems return smaller prizes when crossing any of the 50 paylines. These colourful symbols sit within a golden frame against a rich red backdrop.
The Golden Ox itself is a wild symbol that can step in if needed to complete a winning combination. A gold coin scatter symbol triggers 10 free spins and during the round, wild symbols lock in place for any remaining games. An extra 5 games are added on if at least 3 more scatters appear in a single free spin.
Taking The Gamble
Players can double winnings up to 10x in an optional gamble round. They need select from 4 face-down playing cards to beat a Dealers' card and can keep going on successful picks. A wrong pick ends the round and loses the triggering prize.
