This is funny, the first day I heard about the legislation back a year ago or whenever, I thought "Ha! I bet the US casinos are behind this so they can break the party poker domination and get in on the markekt themselves."

Looks like it might be the case, and I would like it if it happened.

Honestly, I think that if last week, Harrah's was able to open their own online poker room legitimately in the midst of Party's dominance, Party would be done for. Assuming Harrah's room was on the up and up, they could launch a huge ad campaign saying as much, discrediting Party's trustworthiness. Furthermore, just the pride of playing on an American room would draw me there. No American room would have any trouble drawing people once they heard about it. Virtually everyone on this forum would open an account there to check them out, and new players who'd never played before would be drawn to the American room. If they were remotely competitive with Party wrt rake and software, we'd have a new market leader.
