Eh sneak? They & others just clearly wanted to legalize online gambling.
What's F'd is the greedy Indian Casinos and random horse track crap. The Indian Casinos essentially have a monopoly on gambling in CA except for horse races and poker rooms and they wanted to gain more share and prevent others, so they released their own competing prop that allowed dice games and things (craps, etc.), in-person sports betting at horse tracks (wtf?), AND allowed them to enforce laws and easily sue poker-rooms whether or not they were frivolous...essentially allowing SLAP suits.
Like it was so obvious they cut a deal with the horse tracks to support their bill with that weird horse race add-in AND the change to the legal system to allow their enforcement instead of just the government.

Very similar in Florida - but DeSantis just took a ton of money in campaign funds from Vegas casinos, so I suppose one of the things he might do before he tries to run for president is legalize commercial gambling here.
This time, unlike previously, Disney doesn't have enough money to fight this.
