Louisiana sports betting amendment

[KennyB]

Does anyone know if this is going to pass? I am there 3 or 4 times a year and would love to have sports betting while I am staying at Harrahs. We can't get it passed in Florida thanks to the injuns and Disney World.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Yes it will.
Its not an all or nothing vote .
It will be voted on a parish by parish vote .
There are 64 parishes in the state of louisiana .

It will not pass in all 64 but it will pass in any parish that has a casino .

 

[KennyB]

The lawyer in me read the ballot language and the implementation will take a while but this will be great.

 

[CHOPTALK]

It passed in 57 of the 64 parishes .

 

[KennyB]

Good deal. Now they just have to get it operational, which I am sure will take time.
