Two casino bills that were destined to both pass or fail in the Mississippi Legislature died in conference Monday.
For those tracking the progress of the bills, both HB 774 online sports betting bill and Senate Bill 2780 to update to the tidelands legislation were absent from Tuesday’s list of “all measures not dead” on the Mississippi Legislature website.
That means at least another year before sports bets can be placed online in Mississippi. HB 774, introduced by House Gaming Committee Chairman Casey Eure, passed the House but a stripped-down version was approved in the Senate to get it to conference committee.
