Missouri Sen. Denny Hoskins gets a lot of blame for the failure to pass legislation legalizing sports betting.
But for those who think it will be easy to pass Missouri sports betting as soon as he’s out of office, Hoskins says to think again.
“Am I the only one standing in the way of sportsbook passing? No, I am not. Do I get all the blame? Yes, I do. And that’s fine. It doesn’t bother me. But there are a lot of people who feel the same way I do.”
Sitting down with PlayUSA recently at the National Council of Legislators for Gaming States meeting in Denver, Hoskins asserted that he won’t back down from insisting to regulate video lottery terminals (VLTs) along with sports betting.
