"A bucket shop is an establishment, nominally for the transaction of a stock exchange business, or business of similar character, but really for the registration of bets, or wagers, usually for small amounts, on the rise or fall of the prices of stocks, grain, oil, etc., there being no transfer or delivery of the stock or commodities nominally dealt in." - US Supreme Court in Gatewood v. North Carolina, 27 S.Ct 167, 168 1906

Have a great weekend.
