Radio Iowa: Iowa grocers and convenience stores, restaurants and the state’s horsing racing industry are competing with casinos for a piece of sports betting action. The debate played out last week in House and Senate committees reviewing bills to make bets on college and professional sports legal in Iowa, through a variety of venues. “Real-world examples show that different types of sports gaming products can co-exist within a state,” Iowa Lottery Vice President Mary Neubauer said. Doug Beach, legal counsel for Casey’s General Stores, said basic bets on games could easily be placed through lottery terminals in convenience stores.
