Fantasy sports bill stalls in Senate

Rep. Jamie Kiel, R-Russellville, voted against it as well.

“I believe that fantasy sports is gambling,” Kiel told Alabama Daily News. “I do believe that there is an element of skill in fantasy sports, but the skill used is more like that used in poker or a number of other games not currently allowed under Alabama law.

“I think we should call fantasy sports what it is, and only allow it if it is approved by a vote of the people.”
