Glaser said many casino companies are reluctant to give a perceived foothold to companies “that they view as an existential threat. “Where we run into a problem is there is a realization that this is about revenue - who gets a piece of the pie?” he said. Howard Glaser, global head of government affairs with Light & Wonder, the gambling equipment manufacturer, said efforts to expand internet gambling are “dead in every state this year.” “I question the validity of that report,” he said, adding he plans to try again next year to get the bill passed. Jon Ford said his state tried unsuccessfully to pass internet gambling this year, an effort that was at least partly undone by an analytical report from legislative researchers that worried that online gambling would eat into revenue from brick-and-mortar casinos to an unacceptable extent. Atlantic City's nine casinos won nearly $2.8 billion from in-person gamblers, an increase of 9% from the previous year. Internet gambling brought in $1.6 billion in New Jersey in 2022, up more than 21% from a year earlier. FDA expands cantaloupe recall after salmonella infections double in a week
