Commissioner Eileen O'Brien was the most vocal in her opposition to allowing wagers on"awards not based on achievements that can be measured statistically, including, for example, Emmy Awards and Academy Awards" as well as the Super Bowl MVP. At one point, she moved that the commission exclude those from the catalog, but her motion failed with only herself in support.
"The MVP of the Super Bowl is like one of the biggest bets you're going to see, and let's be honest about that," Hill said. He added,"If I was a bettor and I couldn't bet on that, I'd hightail it up to New Hampshire where I could. I'd hightail it over to Rhode Island where I could. And I think our citizens deserve the right to be able to bet on that particular bet, on that issue.
With the catalog of events that can be wagered upon in place, the Gaming commission has a few more matters of business to wrap up before legal betting can begin here next week. The betting law requires that the house rules"shall specify the amounts to be paid on winning wagers and the effect of sports event schedule changes." The rules have to be accessible to all patrons and the Gaming Commission is empowered to fine any operator that violates its house rules.
