December 02, 2011, Scott  

The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission has released a report requested by the state Legislature, saying intrastate online poker could generate $13 million to $60 million a year in revenue, the Des Moines Register reports.

Based on a 22 percent tax rate, that would mean revenue to the state of $3 million to $13 million, the report concluded.

Lawmakers are considering whether to introduce a bill legalizing online poker in January.
