Legislative efforts looking to legalize online casino gambling are slowly falling apart this year. This week, lawmakers in Maine and Arkansas have punted online casino legalization efforts.
Both efforts looked like they might have had an easier route to legalization than some other markets considering the moves this session.
Maine lawmakers tabled LD 1164 in a Joint Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee meeting Monday. While the legislation was expected, it was just introduced last week.
The proposal is similar to the online sports betting framework in Maine. It would give the four tribes in the state the ability to partner with an online casino operator.
