A casino, online gambling, bingo and a new lottery could be introduced under plans put forward by a States committee in Jersey.
The Economic Development Committee says the States could make a lot of income from taxes if they rewrote the island's gambling laws.
The last time the States debated having a casino in the island, Jersey was prosperous and had a strong budget.
But that plan was rejected after a lengthy debate.
Now the committee has proposed several ways for islanders and visitors to gamble with their money, such as online gambling and playing bingo.
The committee is also asking the States to consider letting islanders buy tickets for other lottery draws, such as the UK National Lottery and the French Loto.
Its report claims any new gambling project would make the States more money in tax at a time when it faces a £100m deficit.
