Steve Wynn thinks online poker bill has no chance
October 11, 2012
Describing the Reid-Kyl federal initiative as “intelligent,” Wynn noted that the online poker-only proposal specifically made most other forms of internet gambling illegal, clearing up any confusion.Steve Wynn said in an interview this week that Harry Reid’s efforts to legalise online poker at the federal level was unlikely to pass the House of Representatives. Then he indicated to the television talk show Ralston Reports that he prefers federal law rather than a state-by-state legalisation, but only with online poker.
“It stops other forms of gaming & makes them specifically prohibited on the internet, but it does allow poker, which is an American game,” said Wynn, adding: “I think Harry is right on the bill. I think the people who are in favor of the bill have an intelligent position.”
Perhaps inevitably, Wynn was asked for his view on US presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Republican anti-online gambling position, but did not appear to regard this as particularly relevant, saying rather confusingly that legality was an issue for individual states!
