The same week lawmakers from across the US descended on New Orleans to discuss iGaming, Pelican State legislators began contemplating Louisiana online casino legalization.
Last week, the Senate Judiciary B and Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee held a hearing on the potential expansion into Louisiana online casino gambling. It came as New Orleans hosted the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States’s winter conference, where model online casino legislation was a main topic of discussion.
While lawmakers and regulators recognize they are losing tax dollars to unregulated iGaming operators, they also acknowledge the potential issues of allowing residents easier access to online casinos.
