Here Comes Poker?
 
August 31, 2009

The state of California is known for many things, and now it seems it may become known as the place to play poker. The state has made it very clear that they would like to see poker legalized in their state as an Intrastate game – and they are now taking steps to see that this happens.
 
The Morongo Band of Mission Indians also wants to see poker put online – and they have come up with a proposal to make it so. They are hoping to not only get it legalized but they are hoping to get a piece of the proverbial pie in the process. They were hoping to get their cause listened to before the Senate shuts down for their break – but it doesn’t look as though this is going to happen.
 
The Poker Voters of America are working with them in that are hoping to get the process approved. Right now they are trying to get a true number of the amount of revenue that the state might be able to expect from poker playing. The idea is that although the central idea of the poker sites would remain with the state – each of the tribes located within California would be allowed to participate.
 
Some of the tribes are not happy about the idea – but the PVA says that this is a great way for poker playing to happen in the state – and it is the perfect way to bring in more revenue as well.
