Alabama Sports Betting, Casino, and Lottery Bills Delayed Yet Again

This is a similar bill to one that passed in the Senate in 2021 but then failed to garner enough support in the House of Representatives. The bill was approved by a committee three weeks ago, but no further moves have been made on it as of yet.

“I’m correct on this issue. I know this data, up and down. I’m familiar with the industry. I’m familiar with the challenges. I was optimistic because I felt the arguments would win the day. But the money won the day.”

Meanwhile, in the House, Rep. Chip Brown has admitted that he doesn’t think there will be enough time in this legislative session for his state lottery bill HB 502 to be put to a vote.

Brown’s bill was introduced on March 15th and won committee approval just two days later. However, lawmakers have yet to finalize a date to vote on the bill.
