Penn. eyeing possibility of legalizing online gambling

With Pennsylvania, like so many other states, looking to plug holes in the current state budget, some lawmakers are eyeing the possibility of legalizing online gaming, just as it has been done in the nearby states of New Jersey and Delaware.
It was expected the Senate Finance Committee will hear testimony this week on the possibility of introducing keno to the Pennsylvania Lottery’s gaming menu. The issue, thus far, has failed to generate much controversy. However, going beyond, especially into the area of online gambling, would probably bring out the naysayers, say officials.
A report on Internet gambling, being prepared by a legislative committee is expected to be returned by May 1.
