Casinos would run sports betting in Iowa if the new bills in the Iowa House and Senate were to legalize the practice.

Bets  would be allowed on college and professional sports at the state’s 19 land based casinos, as well as online if Iowans visit a casino in person to register an account and provide age verification. The requirement to visit a casino in person would sunset after 18 months under a Senate bill.

The bill, which passed a Senate subcommittee Tuesday, would also legalize fantasy sports for the first time in Iowa. A similar bill in the House is expected soon.

The Iowa Lottery, horse racing industry and professional sports leagues were largely left out of the new bill. Lobbyists for the PGA Tour, MLB and NBA  are registered against the Senate bill, while lobbyists for the Iowa Lottery are undecided.
