The state of Delaware now has chosen the winning applicants who submitted proposals to the state for licensing that will allow them to provide gaming services within the state online. Those awarded were 888.com, WMS and Scientific Games. These three will be the preferred suppliers for Delaware.

Delaware had asked those interested to submit applications just a few months ago so this is somewhat unexpected news and was not anticipated to have been decided as soon as it was. However this is good news for those in Delaware as they can once again choose where and how they wish to gamble. Both 888.com and WMS have had great years this year and are also trying to win licenses in New Jersey to supply online poker to its residence.

There were fourteen applications in total made to the state. It is unclear if more firms will be granted approval and licensing to operate within the Delaware state borders.

The state of Pennsylvania, more specially Legislator Tina Davis, began the process of creating a bill to legalize online gambling within Pennsylvania. It is believed that licensing fees alone could generate as much as $16.4 million in annual revenue for the state and the proposed tax rate is 45%. This is seen as an ridiculous amount and if approved will only see most operators not interested in operating within the state and the continued underground gambling through offshore betting sites.

After some rethinking of the proposed bill that amount has been brought down to $10.2 million and a 20% tax rate, which is in line with other states that have enacted similar laws recently. The bill is set to be proposed next week and is being sought to protect the growing gambling industry that currently is done within the state.

It is expected that land based casino operators, who only are able to be licenses for slot game and table games in the state, will oppose this bill aggressively s it will have a direct result on their business. The state is republican controlled currently and they oppose online gambling in any form. It is doubtful that this bill will see the light of day based on the many oppositions it will face.
