Pennsylvania Shows Big Promise Towards Regulated Online Poker

A hearing in the Pennsylvania Senate Community, Economic and Recreational Development Committee on Wednesday showed why the Keystone State has passed California in likelihood to move Internet poker legislation: unity.

While the gaming entities in California remain hopelessly deadlocked on who should be allowed to participate in an online poker market, Pennsylvania casino representatives spoke largely in unison on what is needed in an iGaming bill.

The hearing, which can be viewed in its entirety here, came one day after committee chair Kim Ward introduced SB 900, which seeks to legalize and regulate Internet gambling.
