About LinkBacksIowa might not be the most populous state (a little over 3 million people) but it has been at the forefront of legalizing and regulating online poker. The Hawkeye State took one step closer to regulating the game this week after a Senate panel voted to approve a measure to legalizing online poker. It is now heading to a full committee for debate.
From the Chicago Tribune:
The measure was approved Monday by a three-member panel of the Senate State Government Committee. Debate by the full committee is expected later in the week.
Projections show that legalizing Internet poker could generate between $3 million and $13 million for the state's coffers. The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission has issued a study outlining how the state could structure Internet poker.

Yes it is a good sign. It will just take one state making revenue from gaming to open the flood gates and the rest will follow quickly.
