I’m interested in knowing more about the status of gambling legalization in Tennessee, specifically with regards to when we might expect to see the legal changes that would allow both residents and visitors to participate in this activity within the state’s borders. Having done some light research on the matter, I’m aware that lottery-style events, pari-mutuel betting (such as horse racing wagers) and certain types of online betting are already permitted, but as yet, the ‘Vegas-style’ casinos we see in other states are not in operation.
I’m hoping that some of the more well-informed members of this forum might have knowledge or resources on this topic to share, particularly deadlines, legislation proposals, or any upcoming votes on this matter that could change the current situation. I understand that these steps are often part of the process when a state moves towards full legalization of gambling, so any insight along these lines would be highly appreciated.
