Most members of a legislative committee believe that electronic bingo has no place in Wyoming.

On Wednesday, the House Travel Committee voted seven to two against legalizing video bingo.

A state district judge recently ruled that state law prohibits bingo games that aren’t played with the traditional cardboard or paper cards.

House Bill 264, sponsored by Cody Representative Pat Childers, would have authorized e-bingo for one year while lawmakers further study the issue.

After his measure was defeated, the Travel Committee unanimously supported House Bill 62, which prohibits video bingo.

The full House will consider the measure next.
