Gaming history was made this week as the Parliament of Schleswig-Holstein passed Germany’s first gaming treaty.
The decision couldn’t have passed by a narrower margin.
The vote was 46 to 45.
Schleswig-Holstein is the first of sixteen German states to pass such a motion. This is putting a lot of pressure on the other states to follow course.
Germany has been discussing online gaming regulations for some time.
Back in August, many parties opposed the movement. The asked the ruling party to consider the long-term implications. They were concerned that the decision would turn Schleswig-Holstein into what they dubbed the "Las Vegas of Germany."
