But the House and its budget committee are more conservative, with many lawmakers who oppose gambling.

Everyone one of those establishments would need to be taxed and regulated. Which would very possibly lead to illegal activity and other shady shite. Having it regulated at Casinos and horse tracks makes it simple. That's the reason it failed today. Plain and simple


Do you know if any of the other states that allow sports betting, allow it to take place at a video poker place? Or is it just casinos and racetracks everywhere else?

any credible analysis to go along with this claim?


Yes: Go to the Beau or any other coast casino, review the number of LA license plates in the parking lot, then review the number of LSU shirts in the sportsbook.

Every other state either has it at casinos or mobile gaming. No other state has laws where you can just walk into a bar room and place a bet on a team at a book.

The problem with this is the same as every other legislation in this state. Everyone fighting for a bigger piece of the pie.

That's exactly why they didn't pass the bill. Too many people to keep regulated.

You still have to prepare for that. No telling the amount of people you would have to hire and prep for that


we passed medicinal weed in 2015 and people still can't get any because the state slow played it. they could do that here if they wanted.

tell establishments that you're only giving out a set number of licenses for sports gaming outside of casinos until you have the proper number of people and regulations in place and then move forward accordingly.

By the time the committee rejected the bill, Martiny said it was so overloaded with objectionable amendments that it couldn't win enough legislative support even if it escaped the committee.


WTF

Frick this state. Everyone is holding this hostage so they or their lobbyist can get paid.

If you were to create the typical "Louisiana corruption movie" then this is the perfect script.

Take something that most citizens support and that will make the state money.

Have a very small minority of religious folks scream that the devil will destroy us all if this happens.

Have a number of politicians who's only concern is that they can't make money off of this

Have all sorts of other industries - horsemen, video poker, etc, come out screaming for a handout.

In order to appease their lobbyists, have them added to the bill.

Meanwhile, others know that this makes the bill unworkable, so it gives them cover to vote against it.

Meanwhile, no one in the house stands up and says, WTF, this is BS and calls people out on exactly what is happening.

Vote them all out.
