Gambling a Bad Bet Online for State

Online gambling a bad bet for state? Macintosh users can finally bet online after upgrades to the platform last month.

Officials also point to several enhancements they hope will boost online play. The state is working with its vendor to add recognizable, branded games – The Wizard of Oz and Wheel of Fortune.

A mobile platform is expected by early 2015, despite promises of it being available by the start of this year.

There also are hopes that some financial institutions will begin to process online gaming transactions.

Banks have been apprehensive, partly because they believe federal laws are unclear on whether such transactions are legal.

Fantini said he still thinks online gaming will be a viable business for the state, but not the knockout people had touted it as.

“Five years from now online gaming will be an integral part of the gaming landscape in the United States.

It's going to be a viable business, not that huge magical phenomenon that some people had earlier suspected,” he said.

“You say ‘Internet' and everyone lights up and thinks of Amazon, but I don't think it's going to happen.”.
