“Introducing sports betting would be a tremendous opportunity to introduce a new amenity at the state’s casinos that could draw in new customers from outside the state that would then come to the state to wager on sports,” Boyd Gaming's David Strow said.

The saga to legalize playing online fantasy sports for money in Louisiana likely neared its end Tuesday, as the state Senate sent a bill establishing the tax rates to the governor’s desk. #lalege https://t.co/EOcmHjYWQQ

With a 36-0 vote, the Senate gives final passage to @RepStefanski bill that sets an 8% tax rate on fantasy sports betting in the parishes that voted to legalize it. Money would go to early childhood education. Bill heads to governor's desk. #lalege #lagov

Great news fantasy sports fans! The legislature has now passed taxation and regulations. Thank you @RepStefanski @TalbotforLA for your leadership in getting us across the finish line. Sports fans across LA are one step closer to playing in fantasy contests thanks to your efforts.

Voters in these parishes approved the games in 2018, but DFS operators haven't been able to enter until the tax bill passes. Now, more than 18 months after the vote, it appears the bill is well on its way to passage.

[Ryan Butler @ButlerBets]

Louisiana daily fantasy sports taxation bill passes the Houses with minimal opposition and now goes to the Senate. If approved by the Senate and signed into law by Gov. John Bel Edwards, eligible players in 47 of the state's 64 parishes can (finally) play legal DFS games.

[Melinda Deslatte @MelindaDeslatte]

House votes 83-9 for tax on fantasy sports betting, with proceeds going to early childhood learning programs. Bill goes next to the Senate for debate. #lalege

[Melinda Deslatte @MelindaDeslatte]

. @LouisianaGov also has signed @TannerDMagee bill creating the regulatory framework for fantasy sports betting. If the tax rate bill passes this session, the betting could start soon. #lalege #lagov

Louisiana fantasy sports bill sits on governor's desk. Assuming he signs, tax legislation needed next year. Step 2 of 3. Already passed voter referendum. Getting closer to paid fantasy sports contests in Louisiana.
