Harrah's Supports Internet Gambling Bill

Harrah's Entertainment has thrown their support behind the newly introduced legislation that would allow individuals in the United States to gamble online.

The legislation was intorduced on wednesday and it would would provide a framework that would allow licensed operators to accept wagers from citizens of the United States.

The casino giant has spent $405,087 and has signed as a lobbyist to help build support for the bill. They believe it would open a whole new world to them.

Youbet.com and the Poker Players Alliance are both also lobbying for the cause.

Re: Harrah's Supports Internet Gambling Bill

The MGM Mirage is also considering backing this bill, and its because they both plan on entering the internet gambling industry, Harrah's is already in the process of opening a poker site,. so they both have good reasons to want to see this legislation passed. So i have i hopes that one day soon, usa players will be back at the casinos!

Re: Harrah's Supports Internet Gambling Bill

The more the merrier that want to support this bill in my opinion. I think we need all the help we can get to get it passed. I am really looking forward to a decision.
