Delaware Sports Betting Bill Goes Before Senate
A hotly contested sports betting bill in the U.S. State of Delaware was approved by the state house Friday, paving the way for Delaware to become the first east coast state to allow gambling on sports.
Faced with an anticipated US$750 million budget shortfall, the bill was approved by a margin of 30-4 on Friday and will now go before the state senate, with a vote possible as early as this week. If approved, the bill is expected to generate $55 million annually in tax revenues.
