Online Gaming Could Come to Iowa Legally

Iowa could soon cash in on online gaming. A Senate committee gave its approval Wednesday...in spite of online gambling being illegal in the U-S. Iowa would be the first state in the nation to legalize online gambling if the bill becomes law. Supporters said it's a great money maker -- up to $35 million per year for Iowa. Critics said voters never signed off on it when gambling was enacted in Iowa. The bill would have the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission regulate the proposed poker site. Iowa casinos and a private vendor would run it and control the money.
