Is Alabama Getting Closer To Lottery, Casinos, and Legal Sports Betting

Mike Cason | mcason@al.com
Alabama lawmakers took official action on proposed lottery and gambling legislation for the first time in four weeks Thursday.The House of Representatives voted to non-concur with the version of the two-bill plan passed by the Senate on March 7.
That sends the bills to a conference committee, where three representatives and three senators will try to reach a compromise that could win approval by both chambers.

If that happens, voters would have the final say on whether to approve the constitutional amendment required to approve a lottery or other gambling.

The House passed the gambling package first, on Feb. 15. It included a lottery, casinos, and legal sports betting.
