Indiana lawmakers are expected to seriously debate legalizing online gambling in the 2023 session. And online lottery will likely be part of that discussion.

Legal, online gaming that goes beyond sports is closer to reality for Indiana than ever before.

Indiana government will receive $344 million from the Hoosier Lottery this year -- a near record amount.

Indiana is among only three states that have gone so far as to "privatize" their lottery operations. In the years ahead, the amount of control given to companies that run state-backed lotteries is expected to expand significantly across the country while state officials take a step back.

Legislative leaders are now expressing some skepticism over the Hoosier Lottery offering online gaming.

Indiana lawmakers are looking to block the Hoosier Lottery from starting online games or ticket sales without their permission.

Last year's $3.8 billion betting blitz was more than double 2020's total of $1.8 billion. The wagering netted the state about $29 million in tax revenue, up from $13.2 million in tax revenue in 2020.
