In 2023, Oregon will look more closely at ways to allow more gambling.

Oregon wants regulated gaming soon. A new 2023 Gambling Regulation Committee Democrat will shape state gambling.

This authority may benefit the gambling industry and customers in the long run. The group calls its investigation the “first examination at the state’s gaming legislation from top to bottom” in 20 years.

Staying current and discussing legalizing more items
John Lively as chair confuses people. Indiana offers social gambling, horse and dog racing tracks, charitable lotteries, and the lottery.

Lively wants to know if and how to expand the rules. He told KLCC the group would investigate industry essentials:

Where is this all going, and should there be limits on how fast gambling grows or doesn’t grow? If people are willing to do it, then we’ll do it.

The Oregon Lottery is the only legal gaming in the state, bringing in the greatest revenue. Bingo and raffles are popular. Horse racing and off-track betting provide state revenue.

Casinos remain. Oregon corporations own eight and tribes two. Lively knows that expanding Oregon’s gaming sector could hurt tribal income and lifestyle, but he doesn’t know what “the best” option is.

I’m ready to start but don’t know where.
It’s certain. Lively’s committee will draft bills for the House’s vote. Any bill might then go to the Senate. Gambling laws’ speed is another matter.

Oregon rarely has a starting point, and it hasn’t even considered the difficult issue of balancing state and tribal sectors.
