A day after hearing from charitable gaming organizations, education officials, and responsible gambling advocates, the New Hampshire House Ways and Means Committee voted unanimously to recommend killing an online casino bill that would have legalized digital table games, but not slot machines.
The committee met in executive session Wednesday, and the vote was 20-0 that the bill was “inexpedient to legislate,” which effectively means that it is dead. But according to the The New Hampshire Bulletin, the bill will still move on to the House floor, where it may or may not come up for discussion.
SB 104 passed through the Senate March 30, but the latest legislative decision could mean any chance of iCasino — which is legal in six states — being legalized anywhere else this year is dead.
