B&M casinos would never purposely pull something like this. The continuous growth of the online poker industry has brought a ton of new business to the B&M casinos. People play online, polish up, think theyre hot [censored], and figure I'll go give the casino a try. There is no reason why the casinos would risk losing that continuous flow of new players to fight each other over something that might not even end up working out (because some online sites will not be backing out and will have a greater chance at the market than startup B&M online rooms). Good try though.

wow, well glad you know everything.

I think it is extremely possible.

If the US casinos were to open online tomorrow and have to compete fully with already established internationally based online casinos, the US casinos would be on a level playing field, and who wants that?

Under the theory above, this puts US casinos in a perfect position. Wait 2-3 years until people largely forget about the current sites. Then legalize/regulate/tax and US casinos get a jump start on the market. They could corner it in this scenario.

If you want to disagree, fine. But go stick smug little [ QUOTE ]
