Does anyone know if the senators involved in bills for making online gambling illegal own or have shares in land casinos or some other form of legal gambling?
If the senators owned shares in the big casino groups, they would be moving to legalize online gambling. Harrahs, MGM and others are begging to be allowed into online gambling. I think one of their representatives made the claim that their business would more than double if they were allowed to compete online.
No, the senators aren’t looking at their personal pocket books on this one. They are looking at their Christian conservative base and trying to appease them with some sort of win that supports their agenda before the upcoming elections. This is one of those issues that’s hard to take a hit on politically since they will claim the moral high ground on protecting our citizens.
