Pennsylvania&#8217;s own casinos hadn&#8217;t submitted a\nsports betting license by June. Then some wondered \u2013 where else if not casinos?\nSure, there were the race tracks, but would that suffice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, three\nstates are far less likely to introduce sports betting than casinos \u2013\nCalifornia, Florida and Texas haven&#8217;t had the same luck as Pennsylvania when it\ncomes to their wagering and casino industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Keynote State\ngot both operations under way, even though casinos in PA have been delayed\nuntil June, 2019. Meanwhile the state&#8217;s attorney general, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philly.com\/business\/nj-pa-attorneys-general-seek-doj-reversal-wire-act-opinion-online-sports-betting-20190205.html\">Josh\nShapiro, has warned the DOJ to tread carefully<\/a> insofar the new Wire Act interpretation\nwas concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California and\nFlorida, joined by Texas, have given sports betting the cold shoulder. Texas has\nbeen quite belligerent mostly against poker, but some of that bad blood has rubbed\noff on the prospects of sports betting as well. Florida and California in the\nmeanwhile have had been receiving copious funding from the local tribes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"florida-a-place-for-family\"><strong>Florida \u2013 A Place for Family<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Florida in\nparticular has been dominated by rich donors, such as <strong>Walt Disney Company<\/strong>, who have done their best to keep any attempt\nat legalizing the industry at bay. The news that some states are less likely to\npass legislation as a result of local opposition has been confirmed by a recent\n<strong>The Associated Press survey<\/strong>, which\nexamined 50 states in the United States, trying to determine how likely the\npassage of sports betting bill in each would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pennsylvania\nhas done a good job balancing between legislation and local preferences. Even after\nthe state has okayed the expansion of online gaming, poker, and sports betting,\ncasino projects have been supervised by the <strong>Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB)<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennsylvaniacasinos.com\/news\/morgantown-locals-oppose-penn-national-casino\/\">locals\nhave been interviewed<\/a> to establish whether they would agree to having a casino\nproperty or other betting facility in their area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/poll-half-of-americans-approve-of-legal-sports-betting\/483013021\/\">Half\nof all Americans approve of sports betting<\/a> and according to multiple\nsources, half of all US states will have legalized sports betting by the end of\n2019. This comes at a time when <strong>the Department\nof Justice<\/strong> is pushing ahead with a rather restrictive legislation that could\nkill inter-state gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pa-continues-according-to-plan\"><strong>PA Continues According to Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And while\nthe prospects of developing their sports betting and casino industries have\nbeen dimming for some states, PA has adapted itself in the fastly-changing\nregulatory framework which is putting everyone to new and unexpected\nchallenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casinos\nstill seem to be holding up well even against oppressive legislation. Still,\n2019 is a long way from over and we can expect a number of new developments to\narrive by the end of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When PASPA was finally defeated in May, 2018 nobody hurried to speculate that casinos would be the place where most sports betting would take place anyway.
