Hawaii Again Looks At Online Poker LegislationLawmakers Take Another Crack At The Idea After Failing Last Year |
|
Hawaii is once again pondering the idea of online gaming, including poker.
A measure was introduced into the state Senate last month that would establish the “Hawaii internet lottery and gaming corporation” to run the games. The state, which currently has no legalized gambling of any kind, is also considering other gambling initiatives in 2013.
Money from the new industry would go toward education, among other areas.
A similar plan died in the legislature in March of last year.
In addition to Hawaii, Iowa, Mississippi, New Jersey and California are in the mix to legalize online gaming this year. Nevada and Delaware are the only two that have already done so.
