Louisiana revisits antiquated casino law – finally

Louisiana lawmakers are finally choosing economic benefits over unfounded beliefs as they agree to revisit the state’s antiquated gambling law amid declining revenue.

Discussions on updating the state’s gambling law seemed like a taboo that the last time lawmakers debated on it was in 1991 – and the debate reportedly didn’t end well.

It turned out that the esteemed, bible-preaching legislators back then ended the discussion with bitter name-calling, resulting in the shelving of the gambling law division.

More than two decades after that incident, The Advocate reported that someone in congress has finally realized that the state needs to update the laws governing casino gambling.
