Nebraska lawmakers reject proposed skill-game tax rise as betting proposals stall
A legislative update reported mixed progress on gambling proposals in Nebraska, Missouri and Louisiana. Nebraska lawmakers retained the five percent tax on skill-game devices rather than adopting the governor’s proposed 20% rate; an online sports betting amendment passed committee but received no further floor action. Missouri’s proposed sports betting ballot measure faced a court challenge, while Louisiana awaited a study of igaming.
Operators and suppliers face different prospects for sports betting and igaming across the three states.
