Illinois Rep. Dan Didech, who chairs the Illinois House Gaming Committee, has held one hearing but did not put Rep. Edgar Gonzalez’s HB2239 on the agenda. Didech said he doesn’t expect movement on Illinois online casino this session but wouldn’t rule it out. Illinois’ legislative session is set to end May 24.

“There’s not a ton of momentum for iGaming this year, so I think it’s probably a long shot, but stranger things have happened,” Didech told PlayUSA. “Gaming is an issue that sometimes comes together toward the end of the session.”
