Sports Betting

Things are not looking good for sports gambling in Louisiana. The measure is likely dead for this session or possibly on life support.

What happened to voting for the will of the people?

Lawmakers in one Senate Committee have ok'd a sports betting proposal on a 3-1 vote.

Sports betting is now legal in several states across the country, but Louisiana is not one of them, at least not yet.

The Supreme Court's decision strikes down a federal law over sports betting and this could open the door for sports betting across the country.

Lawmakers get together beginning Monday for a regular session. One bill they will discuss is a plan to legalize sports betting in Louisiana.
