Supporters say expanded sports betting in WA would add jobs

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Supporters of a bill to expand sports gambling in Washington state beyond Indian casinos and into privately-owned card rooms across the state said Thursday the measure would increase job and tax revenues.
But opponents say such an expansion would take money from tribes who use the casino revenues to fund their operations and social programs.
“This is our tax base,” said Rebecca George, director of the Washington Indian Gaming Association. “It’s irresponsible for the Legislature to allow sports betting to the benefit of out-of-state people.”
