Expansion of mobile sports gaming outside of Mississippi casinos on Tuesday got a second meeting of the Mobile Online Betting Task Force.
Mississippi lawmakers on the panel are due Dec. 15 to report findings. Another meeting is Nov. 13.
Jay McDaniel, executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission, told lawmakers several issues need consideration when drafting potential legislation. Among them are a tax rate, distribution of proceeds, and whether to offer a referendum process to allow counties to opt out of mobile gaming.
Proceeds could continue to go to infrastructure, or elsewhere. The opt-out would be consistent with counties and alcohol sales.
