Pennsylvania Governor wants lottery to offer online casino games amidst general confusion as to what Pennsylvania laws allow.
The Corbett administration is currently involved in talks with companies as it mulls the idea of privatizing the management of the lottery. A potential deal would be signed for a period of 20 years.

Years back legendary Pittsburgh bookmaker Tony Grosso was reported to have wondered how a numbers game could lose money and offered to have in in the black within a year if he had his sentence commuted. Perhaps he was on to somehting.
I have always thought the PA Lottery should mimic NY in having numbers drawn all day but with a twist. In NY you can play a numbers game in a bar and they draw every so often. I would wire the machaines in and let people play for as little as $.05, with a minimum of $1 per ticket (eg: you bet 20 numbers at $.05 each.) As penny slots have proven, people will play more credits for less per even if the bet is the same. Draw this every 15 mins. I could see barlfys playing all day.
