HARRISBURG -- The state House on Sunday debated legislation to legalize table games at casinos, a measure that reinstates a ban on campaign contributions by casino owners and operators.

A final House vote could occur early this week, but the bill faces likely rejection in the state Senate, according to Sen. Jane Earll, R-Erie, who chairs a Senate panel overseeing the gambling industry. Earll said Friday she objects to combining the reforms contained in her bill, S.B. 711, with the table games bill, and opposes the taxation rates contained in the legislation.
