Senate committee advances Mississippi online sports betting bill

Last week, the Mississippi Senate Gaming Committee voted to pass House Bill 774 ahead of the deadline for committees to report on general bills originating in the house. Changes to the version passed by the House in February mean it may return to the other chamber if the full Senate passes the bill before it adjourns on April 11.

The Mississippi Mobile Sports Wagering Act would allow residents 21 and up to place legal wagers on sporting events from mobile devices outside of the state’s 26 brick-and-mortar casinos.
