Read More »Texans like gambling, but don’t bet on lawmakers legalizing casinos or sports betting anytime soon. A new poll by The Dallas Morning News and the University of Texas at Tyler reveals that 57% of Texans support allowing casino gambling in the Lone Star State. Only 29% of respondents are opposed, with 13% saying it doesn’t matter. Of that total, 52% of white evangelicals, a group that routinely blocks the expansion of gambling, are in favor of allowing casinos in Texas. And Texans support sports betting, a trend that’s occurring across the nation, by a 43% to 26% margin, with 31% responding that it doesn’t matter to them. White evangelicals were less thrilled about sports betting. They oppose it by a 44% to 26% margin. It’s not surprising that polls show Texans in favor of the expansion of gambling. Check the casino parking lots in Oklahoma and Louisiana and you’ll find them filled with cars from Texas. Before the pandemic, busloads of Texans would take day trips to casinos in other states. It’s estimated that Texans spend $2.5 billion annually on gambling operations in other states, and proponents of expanding Texas gambling say keeping that revenue in the state could provide needed revenue for education and other services. But no matter its popularity or tax revenue potential, the expansion of gambling in Texas is a long-shot bet. In legislative session after session, gambling bills crap out, with lawmakers taking their cues from anti-gambling expansion forces. Opponents of gambling include religious groups, some Las Vegas casino companies and Native American tribes that have casinos on their land. Expanding gambling is difficult in Texas because it’s banned by the Texas Constitution. It would take two bills to legalize sports betting: one to amend the constitution, which requires approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, and one to enact the details of the licensing and regulation. If the amendment passes, it would then need to be approved by a majority of voters.
