Pennsylvania Online Gambling Bill Passes Full House Vote

Pennsylvania is one-third of the way to becoming the fourth state to legalize and regulate online poker. The state's House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday that would expand gambling in the Commonwealth by authorizing online gaming, daily fantasy sports, and the addition of slot machines to airports and off-track betting parlors.

The bill will need to be passed by the Senate and signed Gov. Tom Wolf for Pennsylvania to join New Jersey, Delaware, and Nevada as states to allow online poker.

Pennsylvania is the second state this year to pass an online poker bill through a legislative branch, following the New York Senate earlier this month.
