I almost wonder if they poison pilled gambling in Alabama by rolling it all into one. I could see a lottery passing, but the opposition to sports betting and casinos might be too much to overcome and the politicians who don't want any gambling will get their way. I hope I am wrong.
It's kinda funny actually. Senator Del Marsh had a comprehensive gaming bill that failed about a month or so ago. Around the same time, Senator McLendon filed a straight lottery bill. Well, they basically gutted his lottery bill and included just about everything that Marsh had in his. It's almost like Marsh's bill came back from the dead under a new bill number. Anyway, word is the bill has some support. We will see what happens with the House. The Governor actually supports the legislation to allow the people to vote on it. I dare say she might even support the expansion of gaming in the state.
