The bill, which has 11 sponsors, was referred to the Committee on Gaming Oversight.

The first Pennsylvania online gambling bill of 2015 was introduced by Rep. John Payne in February, and in March a proposal from Rep. Nick Miccarelli came forward.
Pennsylvania concluded in a study last year that regulated online poker could be worth up to $129 million annually once it reaches maturation. It also found that house-banked online casino games could reach $178 million annually under the same conditions.
Pennsylvania has 12.76 million people and 12 casinos.
