New Jersey Online gambling is coming to the US. That is the opinion of Massachusetts Treasurer Steven Grossman. Although the treasurer does not agree with the online gambling movement, he is prepared to back a push in the Massachusetts legislature to allow the state lottery to sell tickets online.
Massachusetts does not yet even offer its residents land-based casino gambling, and at a time when House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Governor Deval Patrick cannot find common ground on that issue, other legislators are looking to move on to the Internet gambling issue.
In New Jersey, a similar scene is about to play out between lawmakers. State Senator Raymond Lesniak has already passed one bill through the Legislature that would have regulated online casinos in New Jersey. The bill was vetoed by Governor Chris Christie, and now Lesniak is readying an effort to try again.
Lesniak believes he understands what Christie did not like about the original bill, and he has plans to fix those issues and bring a new bill to the table by the end of the fall. If Lesniak’s bill passes and the governor signs it, New Jersey would become the third jurisdiction to authorize Internet gambling.
