After being passed in the House, HB151 included sports betting, online gambling and allowed for ten potential casino locations. Now, all of those have been removed or limited.
The new legislation, which passed through committee on Wednesday night, changed many components from the bill passed by the state House just a few weeks ago.
The amended bill eliminates sports betting and online gambling and limits table games to three casinos operated by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. The bill directs Governor Kay Ivey to pursue a compact with PCI, who operate casinos in Atmore, Montgomery and Wetumpka. David’s nephew, James Smith, was with him as he purchased lottery tickets. He said Alabama not having gambling is only hurting themselves.
Alabama legislators haven’t had a gambling bill reach the polls since 1999, which was ultimately voted down.
