Senators voted 31-6 on Senate Bill 247 that lays out how the betting will take place and how it will be regulated. Wagers will be able to placed on smart phones, in casinos, at kiosks in bars and restaurants that serve liquor. It takes effect on July 1.

The measure now heads to the Louisiana House for consideration.

Senators amended the legislation to allow temporary licenses while the casinos build out a section for sports wagering in order to get through the initial football season.

Legalized sports gambling is a plague. Eventually, every game of every sport will be fixed. Too much money involved for them not to be.

House already passed the companion bill. Seems hard to believe that even Louisiana could screw this up at this point.

People’s been doing that for the last 10 years and now LA is just starting to vote on it. Talk about being late to the party.
