About LinkBacksThe land-based casino industry, long an opponent of online gambling, is now leading the charge to see Internet gaming legalized and regulated in the U.S. Why is that? Well, they want their piece of the pie.
American Gaming Association Frank Fahrenkopf spoke yesterday at G2E and said he's optimistic that a new bill to regulate online poker will be introduced this year, and that proposals on the table right now don't have the support of the commercial casino industry.
From Business Week:
Rather than supporting proposals already on the table, the casino industry wants states to be able decide whether to allow online poker. The industry also wants online casino companies to be licensed the way land-based gambling companies are in Nevada, New Jersey and elsewhere.

I think it's because land-based casino understood an educational value of online gambling. They got that, because of internet more and more people are involved in gambling. Ones you started to gamble, you'll visit Vegas for sure...

Definitely they have the place to bet on but online gambling is more lucrative than land based...
