A bill has been introduced that would expand online gambling in Ohio from just sports betting to also include playing poker or casino games for money, as well as playing lottery games and betting on horse races on phones or laptops.
The bill from Sen. Nathan Manning (R-North Ridgeville) was introduced Tuesday and will be unveiled on Wednesday in the brand-new Senate Select Committee on Gaming. House Finance Chair Brian Stewart (R-Ashville) confirmed last week he’s working on a bill to establish iGaming in Ohio with the goal of generating some additional revenue for the state.
Senate President Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) said iGaming and iLottery are being looked at as the budget process goes on.
