As some wise man once said, it ain’t over till it’s over.

Less than an hour after Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives voted against omnibus legislation that included online gambling and daily fantasy sports, they voted in favor of standalone legislation authorizing both activities.

On Wednesday afternoon, the House defeated the 183-page Amendment A08621 to Rep. George Dunbar’s HB 2150 DFS bill, largely over its language authorizing video gaming terminals (VGT) in around 13k bars, clubs and other liquor licensees across the state, a plan that was fiercely opposed by the state’s casino operators, the state lottery and family values types.

Both Republican and Democratic parties huddled their members immediately following the vote, leading to Rep. Rosita Youngblood’s introduction of Amendment A08734, the text of which has yet to surface but reportedly bundles Dunbar’s DFS bill and Rep. John Payne’s HB 649 online gambling bill into a standalone measure.
