(US).- Governor Jack Markell wants to authorize online gambling and allow more onsite venues for gambling while giving a financial break to Delaware's three existing casinos. Officials proposed last week expanding keno beyond the casinos to 100 sites throughout Delaware, and authorizing betting on NFL football in at least 20 more sites.
They also want to make lottery and casino games accessible online within Delaware's borders.
Officials say the money generated from the expanded gambling would allow them to eliminate the us$ 4 million in slot machine fees paid by the existing casinos and cut their table game fees from us$ 6.75 million to us$ 3 million.
In return for those financial breaks, the casinos would pledge to spend an equal amount on traditional business expenses such as marketing, capital improvements and debt reduction.
