A Maine online casino bill failed by three votes on April 9, when 74 members of the Maine House of Representatives voted against LD1777. Exactly 71 representatives voted for the iGaming measure that would have legalized iGaming for Mainers, with revenue heading to the state’s tribes. It likely means the bill is dead.
However, the bill sponsor — state Rep. Laura D. Supica, D-Bangor — succeeded at having the “ought not to pass” motion from the Joint Standing Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs sent from the House to the Senate for consideration.
That represents a slim chance that the Senate could keep the measure alive.
