Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy has said that he thinks it is inevitable online gambling will come to the state and that his administration is investigating the potential benefits.

From CBS News:

"The Internet is the Internet. You don't turn off the Internet at any state's borders," he said. "It's an impossibility."

Malloy told reporters that his office is also looking at other issues stemming from the possible advent of Internet gambling, such as whether to allow the casinos or the state lottery handle any potential online gambling operations based in Connecticut.

"If it moves forward, and it's clearly going to move forward, it's going to be available in Connecticut," he said. "Now we have to decide, in the state of Connecticut, what is our approach to that."
