The Washington Post reported that the lawsuit filed by those trying to void the result was rejected in court on Tuesday. Supporters of the recent initiative have now officially won.
One of the entities trying to stop the 2012 legislation was Penn National Gaming, which is competing with MGM Resorts International for new business.
