Online Poker Legalization Bill Coming Next Week 168
GovTechGuy writes "Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) could introduce his bill to legalize online poker as soon as next week. The bill would legalize the game in all 50 states, but sites could only be set up in states where gambling is already legal, so they can be licensed through existing gaming commissions. States could choose to opt-out of the law and ban online poker by referendum or a vote of the state legislature. The bill would also create a federal regulatory body to oversee the game."

"go through the roof" = +8%. You sir have very low roofs.
Also, there may be some bias: there usually is quite heavy security around the casinos, which leads to more crimes being detected and reported (and prosecuted), for the same amount of crimes committed.
