Start to Play: Legalization of Online Gambling in Pennsylvania

Governor Tom Wolf has now signed sweeping new legislation that will allow gambling online, in truck stops and in airports across the state of Pennsylvania.

The fourth state to allow online gaming, Pennsylvania is also the first to allow online play for both commercial casinos and its lucrative state lottery, which delivered $1bn in profits on $4bn in sales.

The move has been widely perceived as a way to plug a large hole in government finances, with tax collected from the existing casino industry worth $1.4bn in the most recent fiscal year, the highest sum of any state.

Ten of Pennsylvania’s 12 existing casinos can bid on a licence for a new, smaller casino with hundreds of slot machines. The costs for each licence starts at $7.5m, with a table games certificate costing an extra $2.5m, for a casino limited to 750 slots and 30 table games.

Casinos will be able to offer interactive gambling parlours in eight airports, including Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, while qualifying truck stops can operate up to five video gaming terminals.

Wolf commented: “There’s been a lot of pressure from a lot of places in the commonwealth to actually expand this, and we do need some recurring revenue.

"Again, the goal has been all along to do what’s prudent, not cannibalise existing gambling revenue coming to the state, and I think what we’re settling on will actually do that.”

It’s been four months since the budget stalemate gripped Pennsylvania, with lawmakers expecting the gambling legislation to produce over $200m a year from casino licence fees and taxes to help reduce the projected $2.2bn deficit.

However, opponents to the bill say it was passed too quickly, with many protesting that they barely had a chance to read it, and warning that it carried unforeseen consequences and contained a number of sweetheart deals for casinos.

December is Time for Locals to Play at Vietnamese Casinos

The Vietnamese government has reportedly issued a decree allowing its citizens to gamble at selected casinos with effect from 1 December.

Under the newly issued Ministry of Finance decree No 102/2017/TT-BTC, Vietnamese citizens who are over 21 years old and who have a declared monthly income of at least VND10m (US $440) for a period of at least a year before they choose to enter a casino will be eligible to do so.

In January 2017, the Vietnamese government approved a three-year trial period in which casinos could accept bets from Vietnamese citizens, where previously only foreign gamblers were allowed to enter Vietnamese casinos and gamble. This decree is the latest step in effectively regulating this process.

There are, however, restrictions on which casinos can offer gambling and only those resorts which have a total capital investment of at least $2bn are eligible to welcome Vietnamese gamblers. This threshold includes both gaming and non-gaming facilities.

Local gamblers will be required to pay VND1m for a 24-hour casino pass or VND25m for a month-long pass. At the same time, casino operators are responsible for collecting and accounting separately the proceeds from these pass sales, paying the proceeds back to the state budget within a period outlined in Vietnamese corporate income tax law.

The decree also stipulates that casino operators must open log books or issue electronic cards to monitor the people who are allowed to enter the casino, with those records being archived for a minimum five-year period and subject to examination by state agencies. This is to aid in the assessment of the impact of gambling on the Vietnamese population.
