Land based casinos in the US will be looking at ENORMOUS profits. Think about it. First the online casinos and poker rooms train millions of fresh new YOUNG gamblers and get them hooked on poker. Many of these young people spends hours everyday playing poker, they eat sleep and dream the game. Then when they feel like they have reached maximum saturation of the market WHAM! you take away access to the online poker rooms! These kids are basically addicted, do you think they will give up the games they love?
Nope, they drive however many hours it takes to reach a land based, tribal or Riverboat Casino to satisfy that need! The casino operators clean up!
Shit they even tipped us off with statements like “Online gambling is as addictive as Crack!”
Maybe this was the plan all along! It’s so fucking sinister and plausible that It wouldnt shock me if there was a lot of truth hiding in there some where. :madat:
And maybe after the established online businesses go bust it will be legal only
for established landbased casinos to “extend” their licenses to go online for
the killing.
