West Virgina eyes sports betting legalization
The Ohio County Democrat said he believes West Virginia has the opportunity to head off neighboring states on sports betting, as it did by legalizing racetrack video lottery in the early 1990s and table games in the early 2000s.
“This is a great opportunity to delve into some revenue generation we desperately need,” said Delegate Shawn Fluharty. “It’s a no-brainer, I think, for our state.”
In November, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a legal brief supporting New Jersey’s challenge of the sports betting prohibition.
Johnson added, “In light of the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the case, we are hopeful that PASPA will be overturned and decision-making authority will once again be returned to the states.”ative, was concerned about the federal government usurping states’ rights and not about people’s ability to wager on sports.
Fluharty’s bill would have the Lottery Commission establish and regulate sports betting, as it did with racetrack video lottery and table games.
“We already have the framework in place. The casinos are in place,” he said.
