The idea of expanding internet gambling is being tossed about. In fact, the topic of Maryland, California, and New York online gambling was recently discussed at an industry event. And while many believe that the mess in California makes the idea improbable, the other states have real chances to make it happen.
Rhode Island recently became the seventh state to offer regulated online casino gambling. The first six states where Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Nearly 40 states regulate online sports betting, but remember that is not the same as casino gaming, or even online poker, which is regulated in Nevada.
What makes New York online gambling feasible? Well, according to the Associated Press, the head of a national consortium of lawmakers from states with gambling interests, identified New York and Maryland as the “most probable candidates” for introducing internet gambling in the near future. Joining him in this assessment was the Vice President of Government Affairs for Fanatics Betting and Gaming and a former Michigan state representative.
