Oklahoma rejects bill to allow roulette and dice games
If adopted, the measure would have allowed casinos to install traditional dice and roulette games instead of one that rely on playing cards to determine odds.
House lawmakers in the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget already approved one version of the bill this week, but that legislation would have prevented further negotiations on some parts of the tribal compact until 2035 instead of 2020.
One senator questioned whether the chamber had enough time to review the bill before it was introduced, and another asked why dice and roulette marbles are banned from Oklahoma casinos.
“I mean, are they like the heroin of gambling?” asked state Sen. Ervin Yen, R-Oklahoma City.
House spokesman Jason Sutton told reporters that because the Senate version failed on Friday, lawmakers would have to either advance the House bill or negotiate a new version that would restart the process.
