(Des Moines, IA) — The Republican leader of the Iowa Senate says there is “gaming fatigue” at the state Capitol. Majority Leader Jack Whitver of Ankeny says that’s why a temporary moratorium on new casino licenses was quickly passed last week. Whitver says there was no push-back during the Senate debate on the moratorium. There are 19 state-licensed casinos operating in Iowa. The moratorium on new licenses will be in effect until July 2024.
