If there were more taxes on this type of gambling, I'm sure that congress would be promoting it.

BINGO!!! Cut Government in for a slice of the pie and they'll do ANYTHING including eating the whole pie. Poker is dangerous but scatch tickets, Keeno, and the Stock Market are good for the economy? Right.

What's easier, taking that trip to Vegas or playing online a little? This law is being promoted by the casinos who fear online play reduces their profits.

The sold it as family values issue to some Republicans but it's really casino revenues that is driving it.

It's a losing issue for Republicans and they should drop it.
