Louisiana is the latest state to express interest in legalizing online poker.
Rep. Mike Huval has asked the state’s house committee to perform a study that will examine the option of legalizing online poker and online gambling Louisiana.
”Louisiana has the potential to benefit economically by legalizing Internet gaming,” said Huval in his proposal statement.
Huval argued that online gambling could potentially bring millions in revenue to the state and provide a safer environment for Louisiana residents to gamble.
The study that Huval requested would delve into the “feasibility and practicality” of offering online gambling in Louisiana.
There may be a bit of a wait for legal online poker in Louisiana, however, as the study won’t be submitted until next year.
