Would like to hear from tector and other legal eagles as to the implications.

Clear the way for lotteries but that poker, et al, remain illegal but due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act as opposed to the Wire Act. That would seems to say that the only thing preventing wider online casino activities is the repeal of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.. Is that a fair reading?

This is pretty significant. Horse racing has enjoyed a blue ocean when it comes to online gaming. I expected movement in this area in Obamas second term but regardless, it's a fairly aggressive interpretation and one which opens the door for a significant amount of online gaming.

It's probably no coincidence that it follows a few months after the big poker breakdown.

One would have to thing the Supreme Court will at some point be faced with a case regarding sports betting nationally.

Interesting topic, this.

However, in other news from Forbes...

A guidence counselor/coach from Erie's powerhouse private school called my old highschool alma matter " a bunch of mayonnaise sandwich eating, sister loving, trailer park dwelling clowns "

He might get fired for it... but the locals are quite proud.

Wire act purpose was to control and eliminate bookmaking statute was narrowly drafted and should be strictly construed
To extend its reach to Internet gambling and poker was at best a tortured interpretation
My great governor never misses an opportunity to headline cash and states that CT will be looking at ways to allow online gambling including poker
Now if he only channel that fervor toward rebuilding the manufacturing base that once made this state great
