CA
Could
Be
Bringing
Online
Gambling
Back
October
9,
2008
Hold
on
to
your
hats,
for
California
is
making
some
bold
moves
in
the
area
of
online
gambling.
The
state
is
currently
looking
at a
bill
that
would
most
definitely
give
the
online
gambling
industry
its
big
break
and
a
way
to
come
back
bigger
than
ever.
Governor
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
is
looking
at a
bill
that
would
effectively
make
online
gambling
legal
in
the
state.
Senate
Bill
1369
could
very
well
pave
the
way
for
the
resurgence
of
online
gambling
in
the
US
as
other
states
adopt
similar
measures.
The
bill
would
make
online
gambling
legal
within
the
state
of
California,
although
it
would
not
make
it
legal
outside
of
it.
Those
that
are
interested
in
participating
in
online
gambling
would
have
to
restrict
themselves
to
those
online
casinos
that
are
operating
within
the
state
itself.
If
the
bill
passes,
other
states
would
undoubtedly
start
looking
at
doing
their
own
version
of
intrastate
online
gambling.
Nevada
has
already
started
looking
into
it,
and
it
is
assumed
that
should
California
be
able
to
pass
the
bill
then
Nevada
will
be
next
in
line.
One
would
assume
that
Pennsylvania
and
New
Jersey
are
not
far
behind
the
ball
on
this
one.
And
any
state
that
is
currently
hosting
slot
machines
or
casinos
might
consider
it
as
well.
It
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
the
online
gambling
bill
plays
out
with
the
Federal
Government
and
if
they
have
a
right
to
shut
it
down
or
not.
The
U.S.
Department
of
Justice
and
committee
members
of
the
EU
are
set
to
convene
together
to
hold
talks
of
why
bingo
and
online
casino
websites
can
still
face
prosecution
even
after
their
withdrawal
from
the
USA
borders,
as
previous
answers
were
not
satisfactory
on
both
sides.
