A Mississippi mobile sports betting task force met last week to consider the potential effects of legalizing online sports betting in the state. The topic of online casino legalization also came up, but it doesn’t seem like state legislators are close to legalizing that gambling option.
PENN Entertainment’s Jason Tosches, the company’s director of public affairs and government relations, said during the task force meeting that PENN is against lumping iCasino legislation into an online sports betting bill.
“While we support icasino for all the same reasons that we’re advocating for online sports betting, I want to be clear that we are not advocating for icasino to be put in this online sports betting legislation,” Tosches said.
