Do we really want the Congress to tell us how the industry should look? With their “tubes” and “internets”?
No Kidding. I cringe every time I hear people screaming for regulation. Government isn’t good at very many things, and this wouldn’t be one of them.

When it comes to a law of this kind – it will be dictated by the lobbists from Harrah’s and they will shape it just right, so they can keep the monopoly…
You got that right.
But, I’m more with Gooner through most of this conversation. Bb1 is probably right. And nothing regulatory will happen soon. They’ll have to “study” it first… get campaign money from their new buddies… make recommendations… set up a taxing and regulatory authority… etc. They’ll go slow and hope being slow makes them look smart and careful.
Likely, they’ll claim it is illegal to play in casinos in other countries.
