NJ Lawmakers Mull Casino Sports Betting

Thursday, February 23, 2006

A New Jersey state Assembly panel today is expected to reconsider whether to allow professional sports wagering in Atlantic City's casinos.

The move comes after New Jersey law enforcement officials busted a nationwide gambling ring.

Officials say the ring was run by a state trooper and the assistant coach of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes.

Currently, Nevada is the only state in the country that allows betting on sporting events.
