Louisiana Wants On The Legal Gambling Bandwagon

[Mben]

Louisiana Rep. Mike Huval wants his state to look further into the prospects of offering legalized online gambling.He has asked the state's House Committee on the Administration of Criminal Justice and the Senate Committee on Judiciary to report on their findings before the 2014 legislature. Louisiana has the potential to benefit economically by legalizing Internet gaming, Huval wrote.Already Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware have legalized various forms of online gambling while other states like Illinois consider legislation to do so.For Louisiana, the path to legalization won't be easy as it explicitly made gambling by computer illegal back in 1997.<a href="http://www.gambling911.com/gambling-news/louisiana-latest-us-state-consider-legalized-online-gambling-031813.html" >source</a>

I don't know what this all means for the casino software providers and operators. I posted this article the other day that gives a little bit of insight on what legalizing online gambling means to Nevada. The article states that a door has been cracked for the usual big names in Nevada. <a href="https://www.nodepositforum.com/t52872858/nevadas-online-gambling-law-does-not-open-the-floodgates-to-/" >https://www.nodepositforum.com/t52872858/nevadas-online-gambling-law-does-not-open-the-floodgates-to-/</a>Hopefully Microgaming and Playtech grab a hold of the coattails of the big name casinos in Nevada and if that happens, then we can be pretty sure that they will be able to operate in specific states who pass their laws to legalize gambling. Also, Nevada is trying to go interstate and not just intrastate. But if that happens, the states that allow online gambling who go interstate with Nevada, may have brought Microgaming and Playtech in already.This is all so much in the air still but it is moving forward. Just not fast enough for us gamblers though! lolAnd I am not the expert on any of this. I read gambling news and really have to decipher and put 2 and 2 together.
