After making strides in 2023, Las Vegas Sands hoped its big bet on casino gambling would pay off this legislative session, with lawmakers at least allowing voters to decide whether destination casino resorts should be allowed in Texas.
The momentum gambling expansion had going into this legislative session was blunted from the start.
Lawmakers in the House and Senate never gave casino gambling and sports betting much thought, and even one local government showed some skittishness about approving gambling in potential future developments.
Today the prospect of resort-style gambling palaces in Texas and wagering through sports-betting apps is as elusive as it’s been since the renewed push for gambling expansion began in 2021.
