Massachusetts Senate Expected To Vote On Sports Betting Bill This Week

BOSTON (CBS) -- Legalized sports betting may soon be coming to Massachusetts.

According to State House News Service, the Senate is expected to vote on the wagering bill this week.

More than 30 states, including Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Connecticut, allow sports betting.

Governor Charlie Baker has supported legalized sports wagering for years.
