After more than three years and several stops and starts, the Ohio General Assembly has finally passed a bill that would legalize sports betting in the Buckeye State.

On Wednesday, the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate voted to pass House Bill 29, which would legalize sports betting in the state by the end of 2022. The legislation passed by a wide, bipartisan margin in both chambers.

The bill now waits approval from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who stated earlier this year that it was only a matter of time before sports gaming was legalized in the state.
