Alabama State Sentate to discuss gambling expansion
Alabama have started discussions on the creation on allowing for a state lottery, land based casinos, sports betting and online gambling.
The bill is sponsored by Republican Senator Del Marsh and requires 60% or more of the legislator in both houses to approve the bill and would then go to a public consultation and ultimately a vote.
Alabama has a population of nearly 5 million and is the 24th most populous state in the US and the last time the public voted on gambling expansion back in 1999 it was rejected.
However there is a belief this time should it reach that stage it could very well be accepted.
Marsh said: “I firmly believe that the people of Alabama want to address this gaming issue, once and for all.”
There has been some debate over the cost of a casino license being proposed at $100 million, that fee would be for Birmingham which is the largest city in Alabama.
The legislators will begin discussions over the bill in the Senate on the 23rd February.
