Following the information provided by Reading Eagle, a bill that will legalize and regulate all online gaming issues is said to enter the full House already in June.
Last year, the person responsible for the bill, Rep. John Payne, introduced the bill for the first time, but it was then put on hold and only recently did it come to the surface once more. The legal document would include the 12 casinos existing in the state as operators holding a license to perform their services in internet casinos. The change of attitudes is connected with the Michigan and California states to give a thought to similar bills.
By now, the casinos in Pennsylvania have set a record revenue for table games in March with $7.8 mln from gambling and almost $5.2 million originating from poker.
Another matter that influenced Pennsylvania to change the attitude right after the state gambling regulators informed that total win from gambling in 2015 was $3.17 billion, which was also the highest amount for the Keystone State. Now, Pennsylvania has estimated that after regulating online gaming, the state wuld benefit and extend the current market by approximately 10%.
