Mississippi online sports betting’s fate is likely heading to a conference committee of House and Senate representatives.
It’s been an interesting two weeks for Rep. Casey Eure’s (HB 774) Mississippi Mobile Sports Wagering Act. Last week the bill was approved by a Senate gaming committee, but stripped of all its sports betting language before being moved ahead to the Senate as a means to continue work and negotiations on the legislation.
The Senate approved the bill this week by a 36-15 vote with a reconsideration motion. The motion was not taken up on Thursday afternoon, and the legislation will likely now head to a conference committee for further discussion.
