A new plan for sports betting is moving forward in the General Assembly that would open the new industry to an unlimited number of in-person and online businesses.
The plan being put forth by the state Senate would be one that is wide-open to applicants, compared to one approved by the House of Delegates that would limit the number of licenses.
“We are doing our best not to pick winners and losers, but to let the market work itself out,” said Sen. Craig Zucker, a Montgomery County Democrat who is one of the architects of the new plan.
