HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Legalizing Internet gambling, possibly through Pennsylvania’s existing casinos, appears certain to be a topic of debate soon in the state Legislature after consultants told lawmakers Wednesday that allowing the state’s residents to wager in casino-style games online would lead to more total gambling revenue.

Online gambling could generate another $307 million a year in gambling revenue in Pennsylvania, according to a report by Econsult Solutions Inc. of Philadelphia released Wednesday, an estimate that assumes that the state hits its goals and avoids the experience of New Jersey, which has fallen short of revenue expectations.
