Legal lottery and casino games could come to your smartphone as soon as September.
A proposal authorizing interactive gambling — known as iGaming — advanced Tuesday through the House Public Policy Committee on a 9-2 vote, following more than three hours of discussion.
“What is the future of gaming policy in Indiana?” Author Rep. Ethan Manning, R-Logansport, asked, while introducing his legislation. “How can we leverage the assets we already have, take advantage of new opportunities, benefit the most people and also, at the same time, protect some of our most vulnerable?”
Manning estimated that the digital lottery and casino games, coupled with sports wagering tax hikes, could bring the state of Indiana more than $300 million annually in new revenue.
