As my colleague Eric Frank previewed here, a bill has been introduced in the Pennsylvania Senate regarding internet gaming.   The latest bill, SB 900, was introduced on June 9 sponsored by Senators Ward, Tomlinson, Vogel, Scarnati, Bartolotta, and Stefano.  The bill goes beyond just internet gaming, though, and it remains to be seen whether this bill is the result of a compromise among various interests or is too broad to pass.

As with the several other bills we have covered, this bill would allow Pennsylvania casino licensees to offer internet gaming.  However, Category 3 facilities – the two smaller facilities (Valley Forge and Nemacolin) that are part of resorts – would not be authorized to offer internet gaming.  An internet gaming permit would have a $10 million fee attached with a $1 million renewal due every five years.
