On Tuesday, the Louisiana House voted unanimously (99-0) on Bill SB 181, which seeks to ban sweepstakes games from the Bayou State.

The bipartisan bill has now passed the Senate and House and is waiting for Senate concurrence, which is scheduled for later today.

Bill SB 181 passed through the House with only three marginal amendments designed to clear up the language of the bill and not alter it. It is thus expected to pass Senate concurrence easily and become law.

Bill SB 181 would ban any casino-style game, lottery games, or sports wagering that uses a dual-currency system of payment.
