(Des Moines, IA). — A representative of the 19 state-licensed casinos in Iowa says lawmakers may debate legalizing online casino gambling in the future – but, in the next legislative session, Iowa Gaming Association president and C-E-O Wes Ehrecke says the concept is still in its embryonic stage. He says it is going to need to evolve over the next year or two before any serious legislation or consideration would happen. Ehrecke says he doesn’t expect making online casinos legal as well would lead to the demise of the brick and mortar operations in the state.
