Wyoming won’t consider online casino legislation this session.

The Wyoming House voted 25-36-1 not to take up iGaming legislation this year.

Rep. Robert Davis filed HB 120 last week, hoping his colleagues would take up the bill.

Because Wyoming is in a short budget session with less than a month to consider legislation, the House requires two-thirds of members to vote for a bill for it to gain introduction officially.

A favorable vote of at least 42 members would have meant the introduction of the bill and assignment to a committee.
