A new bill that would allow Ohioans to bet real money on online casino games is on the verge of debate, but it looks like it will be an uphill battle to get lawmakers to talk about it.
Senator Niraj Antani introduced SB 312 in the Ohio Legislature in September. The bill would legalize online casino games and levy a tax. This may sound simple, but the senator is running out of time to get the bill moving.
Why? He introduced the measure before a lame-duck session scheduled for the end of the year. When Congress is in session after a November election and before the beginning of the new Congress, it is known as a lame-duck session.
