The Republican-controlled House of Representatives approved a bill, Thursday, which would completely overhaul gambling laws in the state of Pennsylvania.
The state house and senate approved a bill that would expand legal gambling in Pennsylvania. If passed, it would bring legal gambling to truck stops, create legal online gambling and regulate fantasy sports betting.
Current casinos like Mohegan Sun Pocono near Wilkes-Barre could even open smaller branches with slots and table games.
It's all to help plug a 2 billion dollar state budget deficit.
