Lynch to consider online gambling
New Online Gambling Laws for Massachusetts and New Hampshire?

Next week, Lynch will unveil his plan for gambling in New Hampshire, and the legalization of online gambling is one of the vehicles the governor is reviewing, his spokesman, Colin Manning, said.

Lynch, last month, voiced opposition to a Legislative push to permit slot machines and casino-style gambling in Hudson and five other sites. The House is now debating a Senate-approved bill that allows up to 17,000 legalized slot machines and table games in the state.

Federal law prohibits Internet gambling but it is rarely enforced. Americans account for half the $16 billion spent globally on poker and other online games that are operated outside the U.S.

Only four states have made Internet gambling illegal; New Hampshire has no law expressly prohibiting online betting.
