Alabama State Sentate to discuss gambling expansion<\/p><\/div>\n

Alabama<\/a> have started discussions on the creation on allowing for a state lottery, land based casinos, sports betting and online gambling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Alabama has a population of nearly 5 million and is the 24th<\/sup> most populous state in the US and the last time the public voted on gambling expansion<\/a> back in 1999 it was rejected.<\/p>\n

However there is a belief this time should it reach that stage it could very well be accepted.<\/p>\n

Marsh said: \u00a0\u201cI firmly believe that the people of Alabama want to address this gaming issue, once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The legislators will begin discussions over the bill in the Senate on the 23rd<\/sup> February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
