With a bill now on Gov. Baker's desk, some proponents expressed hopes wagers could be placed at the start of football season. However, the Mass. Gaming Commission said, if the bill is signed into law, setting up rules for would take at least a few months.
State officials who would be in charge of licensing and regulating sports betting signaled Thursday that it may take longer for them to make sports wagering a reality in Massachusetts.
"I want the public to understand, as we as commissioners are starting to understand, that this isn't something that's going to happen overnight," Commissioner Brad Hill said. He added,"this is going to take a little longer than people probably anticipate, and I'm OK with that because I want to do it right."
However, House Speaker Ron Mariano said he expects the state's two casinos that have already laid out sportsbooks"will open up almost immediately as soon as the launch." State Sen. Eric Lesser said on sports radio this week that the commission told him"it'll take about 90 days" for them to begin issuing licenses.
Chairwoman Cathy Judd-Stein said she envisions additional similar roundtables"in the weeks and months ahead" with responsible gaming organizations and other interested parties.
