The point is - they see the billions spent overseas and want a share of that. They of course are worried ppl won't come as much to vegas to gamble, see the shows, etc, etc. It will work out. and regulation will be just fine with me..
The branding will be huge and I bet the casinos will buy up big online sites, poker.com and all those others, and I bet the owners of those companies know that too and can't wait.
One state, I thought it was mine, Oregon, but mabey not - I was reading is already playing around with the idea of people buying lottery tickets and Instant scratch off tickets online.
The gov. just wants it's share Evan, we all know that. Besides loosing tourism and the casino industry not supporting stuff right now - it will happen and one of the big reasons Taxes..
Lets see if my democrats can push it through in a few years

i remember people getting excited about bingo and horse racing a while ago and can only imagine what would happen if poker and gaming were legal in the u.s. online. i guess my lack of faith stems from how obvious the benefits are and how it being so obvious brings in my lack of faith in the majority. it seems like such an easy call that it will not be made and while u.k. et al. companies get valuations in the billions within a couple of years, u.s. businesses will stuck on the fringes. it just keeps happening --
edit- have there been any recent gov't legal actions against online gaming in the u.s.?
visa/mc and bank stuff is one thing - is the gov't enforcing?
