Online Poker Optimism Appears Dead in Pennsylvania
After optimistic buzz that Pennsylvania could finally join Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey in legalizing and regulating online poker, those hopes appear to be dead when budget talks fell through on Wednesday, according to Online Poker Report.
Pennsylvania has been considered the most likely state to pass online gaming legislation for some time now after it passed a budget in 2016 that included $100 million in online gaming revenue. That never got all the way through the legislature due in part to a lingering issue with video gaming terminals.
