Pennsylvania Online Gambling’s fate uncertain, says Rep. Payne

There are “50/50” chances that online casino gaming and daily fantasy sports (DFS) will be regulated in Pennsylvania as lawmakers buckle down to take another look at regulated online gaming for the Keystone State.

Pennsylvania Rep. John Payne made the grim update just a week before members of House Gaming Oversight Committee conduct a deliberation on his sponsored bill, which aims to regulate online gaming in the state.

Payne believe that the legislators will not tackle the issue of DFS and online casino gaming together this year with only a weeks left before the Senate session adjourns, according to Online Poker Report.

“It’s a matter of whether the Senate wants to do [online] gaming this year,” Payne said.
