This is precisely what's wrong. If the gaming industry based in Nevada would take the lead on getting online gaming legalized and regulated, then opened sites that were based in the US and regulated by the internet equivilent of a gaming commission they could easily become the leaders in online gaming instead of fighting the online sites. How much has the poker boom made them over the last 5 years?
Perhaps they just don't give a crap about the poker players. Poker likely costs them more $/sq. ft. of space and skilled employees to spread. The table games and slots are where the 'safe' money is since they know that they are going to make $X amount of money per hour. I'm sure they'd be more than happy just providing slots if their clientelle would tolerate it. Why can't they see that online gaming is as lucrative, if not more so, than slots - some reliable hardware, decent software, a good support staff and ba-da-bing, start counting the money!
