State legislatures have not had much luck passing online casino bills recently, but Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim has an idea he thinks will help in 2025 and beyond. He proposes taking an incremental approach to legalizing online casinos in states like New York and Illinois, starting with live dealer table games and nothing else.
These live-streamed games with human dealers have often been presented as the job-producing incentive for regulating full-scale iGaming. However, Kim believes lawmakers might have an easier time getting behind legislation that focuses on the live dealer games exclusively.
“Why not just live dealers? I actually think live dealer can be an interesting solution in a lot of places,” Kim said.
