Add Mississippi to the list of states considering legalizing Internet gambling.
On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Bobby Moak, D–Bogue Chitto, introduced House Bill 1373 that would allow residents 21 and older to play poker and other casino games online in Mississippi. Moak is the former chairman of the House Gaming Committee.
The bill says millions of people are gambling on illegal offshore websites.
What I like about this bill is that it's not just online poker, it's slots etc.. It also appears you don't have to be an established land based casino in Mississippi as long as you can abide by the commissions regulation requirements but I could be wrong, unlike Nevada.
I was reading fast but it appeared as long as you have the funding and can meet their standards an operator could operate a full blown online casino within the state after meeting all requirements.
Of course the bill has to pass first. You can read more here!
