California sports betting supporters are learning a fast and simple truth: Gaming expansion in the state is never easy. Since the Supreme Court decision that overturned PASPA, there are now eight states with legalized sports betting. Plus, other states are already penciling it in as a top priority in 2019.

Odd are that without a clear national policy in play, no effort will be made on the issue next year in California. Senate Bill 190 was introduced in February by state Sen.
