In 2025, a legislative task force was formed to address the rapidly expanding, multi-billion-dollar gambling industry in the state.

This year, the task force was renewed to continue discussions for another year, as lawmakers felt there was more work to be done.

On Thursday, the Wyoming Legislature’s Select Committee on Gaming met to begin interim discussions on a wide range of issues, from the distribution of wagering revenues to the controversial “Queen of Hearts” charitable games.
