One of the least likely states, conservative Mississippi, is once again exploring options to legalize online gambling.
Mississippi considered seriously flawed legislation last year that called for – among other things – allowing cash and credit as deposits with little oversight and the confiscation of inactive funds by the state.
An almost identical bill is being re-introduced by state Rep. Bobby Moak. He once again asserts that legalized online gambling in the state would result in countless numbers of jobs created.
The proposal also calls for a $200,000 licensing fee to be paid by operators and renewed every five years.
Where Web poker is concerned, the Magnolia State would likely not be sustainable on a stand-alone basis with only a population of just under 3 million.
