(US).- After passing an expanded gambling bill, the Massachusetts House amended the proposed legislation to include a serious look at Internet poker. The House would have the newly created gaming commission come up with a model of how the online gambling would be regulated and run.
Representative Daniel Winslow, who filed the amendment, says allowing an Internet poker industry would create high tech jobs in the state and boost tax revenue. The Norfolk Republican’s amendment prohibiting lawmakers from working in the casinos after leaving office also was approved.
The casino bill approved by the House late Wednesday would license up to three casinos and one slots parlor. Winslow’s amendments were some of the few lawmakers approved. The bill now moves to the Senate.
