Las Vegas casinos control EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in the state of Nevada, as well as trying to gain control over all the other markets they have branched out into.
They want control of this market as well.
The land based U.S. casinos feel they should be the ones to oversee and control Internet gambling.
As soon as their lobbying pays off and they are able to convince the powers that be, then online gambling in the U.S. will cease to be offered through the offshore casinos. We will see Bellagio, Luxor, Treasure Island, Mandalay Bay, Harrah’s and all the other land based casinos offering online gambling.
Then the government will be able to tax it and everyone will be happy.
Well .. let me rephrase that last part .. NOT everyone will be happy .. affiliates will be screwed!
