77% of republicans view owning a gun as morally acceptable, while only 43% are in favor of the legalization of online gambling. This is one of many findings in a new survey that was created to map the attitude towards online gambling in the US. The survey was conducted by Bettingscanner.com.

Bettingscanner.com, a website that compares and reviews sportsbooks for Americans, have published the results of their latest poll, designed to measure how American’s view online gambling compared to other habits. Here are some of the key takeaways:

Despite an image problem, most American’s are in favour of the legalization of online gambling

Only 4 out 10 Americans consider gambling online as morally acceptable despite the fact that the federal ban on gambling was lifted in 2018. Americans can currently gamble online in a number of states including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Despite its current image amongst the population, only 14% of Americans would completely disagree with the legalization of online gambling.
Four in ten Americans view the use of single-use plastics as morally acceptable

In recent years there has been a huge push in the US to reduce the amount of single-use plastics. However the results show there is a clear political divide when it comes to this topic, with 51% of Republican respondents viewing it as morally acceptable compared to 39% of Democrats.
Democrats view smoking marijuana as more acceptable than Republicans

According to the survey 46% of Americans view smoking marijuana as not morally acceptable, despite the drug being legal in 11 states. The result gets more interesting once you break it down along political lines, with only a third of Republicans viewing the use of the drug as morally acceptable compared to 54% of Democrats.
The majority of Americans view owning a gun as morally acceptable

The issue of gun crime in the US, is a hotly debated topic, but results show that the majority of Americans do not view owning a gun as morally unacceptable.

It’s here we see the biggest split between the two major political parties; with 77% of Republicans having no moral objective to owning a gun, compared to 45% of Democrats.

AGS, the global gaming supplier, teamed up with Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel in Southern California to host a two-day launch celebration for its newest slot family, Ultra Werewolf.

The event kicked off on Wednesday, March 4, with special guests Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, reprising their iconic roles as Jay and Silent Bob from the 90s cult classics Clerks, Mallrats, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Smith and Mewes were the first to experience the game and shared their impressions during a live recording of their SMPodcast, “Jay & Silent Bob Do Yaamava’.”

The fang-tastic festivities continued the following day with an unveiling celebration attended by Yaamava’ Resort & Casino and AGS representatives, culminating in an exciting slot pull for Club Serrano Members.

Guests were immersed in a comic book–inspired world, featuring a life-sized Werewolf, two werewolf “hunters” from the game, interactive photo opportunities, and custom werewolf-themed slot chair covers. The VIP reception offered themed mocktails, wolf-ear headbands, and free spins on Ultra Werewolf Fury and Ultra Werewolf Strike. Four lucky participants who played the Ultra Werewolf games were entered into a draw for $1,000 in Free Play, with one lucky winner receiving $5,000 in Free Play.

Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots at AGS, said:
“Yaamava’ Resort & Casino is the perfect venue to celebrate the dedication and partnership that goes into a world premiere of a slot game. The Ultra Werewolf brand extension builds on the thrilling storyline of the original Werewolf, one of AGS’ most successful premium games. The new franchise takes it further with a unique comic book theme, more bonus features, and all-around excitement. Our collaboration with Yaamava’ and shared focus on delivering innovative, unforgettable player experiences made this the ultimate way to ‘Catch the Wolf.’”

Kenji Hall, General Manager of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino, added:
“Ultra Werewolf represents the kind of creative, high-impact game design that elevates the entire industry. Yaamava’ is dedicated to leading the market in entertainment innovation, and we’re proud to host the launch of AGS’ latest breakthrough.”

The excitement continues, with Ultra Werewolf slot drawings scheduled for March 22, where four Club Serrano players will each win $1,000 in Free Play, and one lucky winner will receive $5,000 in Free Play plus a limited-edition silver Justice League comic collector card.

Ultra Werewolf will be available exclusively at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino for a limited time before expanding to additional casinos nationwide.
