An conference committee is set to kick off today to determine the state s sports betting fate.
Alabama lawmakers will have to work out the details for a bill that will potentially include the legalization of casinos, a lottery, and sports betting.
The House approved two expansive gaming bills in February that called for the legalization of up to seven casinos, in-person and online sports betting, and a state lottery to support Alabama education. A Senate committee, however, stripped sports betting language out of the bills leaving only the approval of three tribal casinos, a state lottery, and parimutuel wagering on horse and dog races at seven state tracks.
