Game time: California to decide dual sports betting measures

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

The gaming industry and Native American tribes are spending big on dueling propositions to legalize sports gambling in California. The initiative bankrolled by a coalition of tribes would allow roulette and dice games at casinos and online wagering. Proposition 26 would let casinos offer sports betting in person and a 10% tax would help pay for enforcement of gambling laws and programs to help gambling addicts. Prop. 27 would would also allow online and mobile sports bets for adults. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office found that both initiatives would increase state revenues. It's unclear by how much.
