I think the status quo will prevail.

I believe this is a storm brewing in a teacup. Jetset's news piece above shows the reality - if gambling is legal, and alcohol is legal, how are they going to ban advertising on shirts for one and not the other?
I would dare say that alcohol is responsible for more accidents and deaths and trouble in families than gambling is - and likewise, the potential for underage gambling (small to begin with) is not going to increase with advertising on shirts, just as underage drinking is not going to increase (far more likely).
All it will probably take is a donation to Mr Campbell's campaign funds for him to have a change of heart... LOL...
