LOL. I suspect this is all about clearing the field for some US firms who have supplied the boodle to Obama, Reid, etc. Watch for new legislation allowing the likes of Wynn, Harrah, Churchill Downs to run online poker. With Uncle Sam getting a nice piece of the action and plenty of board positions, etc. in the wings for these theives when they leave public office.
Me thinks you hit the nail on the head there.
Although Wynn was partnering with Poker Stars — the largest of the websites — to make online poker legal.
