“Two Texas Hold ‘em poker tournaments in the Triangle this month each attracted dozens of players hoping to win a big prize. Both events had at least one world-class poker player on hand. And both were in violation of North Carolina’s gambling laws, according to the head of the state’s Alcohol Law Enforcement agency, which enforces them.”

“The state’s gambling industry says that Internet horse race betting is already happening around the country and that Illinois is missing out on a huge jackpot of revenue because the state hasn’t authorized it for Illinois’ racing industry. “Internet gaming is here,” said Marc Laino, executive director of the Illinois Racing Board, which would oversee Internet horse race betting if it is instituted under pending legislation. “Trying to stop it in Illinois will only limit the potential revenue for the state.”
