blackjackYes you got it right ,but unfortunately we are not talking about online poker…sigh

State Rep. DeWeese, a top democrat, is planning to introduce legislation early next year that could legalize poker, blackjack and other table games in Pennsylvania’s new casinos - philly.com reports.

Various details of the bill are still being discussed, including whether to let local municipalities decide whether slots casinos should have table games.

“It used to be that slots made up 85 percent of [a casino’s] business. But that’s no longer the case anymore, we can generate significantly more dollars for property taxes.” said a spokesman for DeWeese. “There is no practical difference between putting $20 in a slot machine and putting $20 on a blackjack table” ah yes?so whats the difference between putting $20 online or putting it in a Pennsylvania casino?

Gambling proponents have said poker and blackjack are necessary to attract younger, more affluent gamblers since. Ok, but if I am not mistaken wasn’t the online gambling bill supposed to stop younger players from gambling easily? Sorry, I don’t follow it anymore.

Eleven states have legalized table games along with slot machines. States in the region, including West Virginia, Delaware and Rhode Island, have legalized slot machines at race tracks but have stopped there.
