Despite the Mississippi House passing two separate mobile sports betting bills, the Magnolia State will yet again see its legislative session close without the issue reaching the finish line.
For the third straight year, the House sent Mississippi sports betting online expansion bills to the Senate, only to see it fizzle in the upper chamber. Mississippi was one of the first states to legalize sports betting in 2018 after the fall of PASPA, albeit only in-person at casinos.
Rep. Casey Eure sponsored both sports betting bill that made it through the House. Sen. David Blount, a familiar foe for online Mississippi sports betting bills, killed both efforts in the Senate Gaming Committee.
