Massachusetts Gaming Commission to meet on Oct. 29
There are likely to be several topics of interest including: Region C evaluation process, Wynn Quarterly Report, MGM Design Change Review Process, and 2016 Racing Applications.
The meeting will discuss a number of current hot topics in Massachusetts gaming, including daily fantasy sports. People in the industry contend that fantasy sports is not gambling because it involves games of skill, not chance, which are outlawed under most state gambling laws.
But gambling regulators in Nevada last week ordered companies like FanDuel and DraftKings to stop operating in the state after determining that online players' activity "involves wagering on the collective performance of individuals participating in sporting events." The decision prompted several online fantasy sports businesses to shut down operations in the state.
Congress exempted fantasy sports from a 2006 federal law that banned online gambling, but questions remain about whether the virtual competition violates a nearly century-old Florida statute. Five states – Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Arizona and Washington – have banned fantasy sports.
