The Maine House of Representatives rejected LD1777, a bill that would have legalized online casino gambling, due to concerns about its impact on problem gambling.
Steve Silver opposed the bill, citing potential job losses and revenue decline from cannibalization, as well as increased problem gambling risks.
He suggested revising the bill to include commercial casinos and a more open regulatory approach.
