Pennsylvania’s long-running effort to regulate online poker and casino games appears poised to take a crucial step toward resolution.
According to the Poker Player’s Alliance, the Senate Community, Economic, and Recreational Development Committee (CERD) is expected to hold a hearing May 9th regarding online gambling regulation.
That echoes CERD Chairman Sen. Mario Scavello’s recent comments to Online Poker Report. CERD has yet to formally schedule a hearing.
Sources close to the process tell OPR that the only goal of such a hearing would be to bring a bill forward for a vote.
