Abstract
Many gaming establishments are allowed to advertise their product freely to prospective customers just as any other owner of a product may. However, privately owned casinos are not pbrmitted to broadcast information about their gambling establishments because of laws which were formulated in the early 1800s. This Note traces the history of those laws and states why they should not apply to privately owned casinos. The Note then analyzes modern cases addressing the constitutionality of the speech prohibitions, including two cases currently being litigated, Valley Broadcasting Co. v. United States and Greater New Orleans Broadcasting Ass'n v. United States.
