With the U.S. Supreme Court getting set to decide on the future of legalized sports betting, Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones shared his thoughts on the issue.

"I don't see that gaming compromises the integrity of the game,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan.

New Jersey is challenging the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a federal law approved by Congress in 1992, that prohibits all states except for Nevada from sports wagering. Delaware, Montana, and Oregon offer more limited regulations of sports lotteries.

Should New Jersey's case be ruled in its favor, other states would surely be quick to follow.

It's believed sports betting is a $150-billion industry.
