House backs internet gambling plan while rejecting bar expansion
In Harrisburg the Pennsylvania House backed a measure to expand legalized gambling to the internet and airports, while rejecting broader casino expansion to bars. The bill passed 115 to 80 and would let casinos offer online games at websites and in six international airports and ten off track betting parlors, with mobile play possible in airports. It would regulate daily fantasy sports betting and allow sports betting if made legal federally.
