That and over 50% of South Dakota casinos reported operating at a loss last year. I don't think they want any more competition.

Has it been proven that online poker cannabalizes live poker. I thought online play clearly promotes increased live play.

I don't think these numbers have much to do with poker. They probably have to do with a casino mostly full of slots sitting 97% empty.
Live poker has exploded across our country over the last five years. The combination of TV and the Internet where new players can gain confidence and experience for free or a few dollars has lead to millions of new players who want to venture into a cardroom to try their luck and test their skills...In the past cardrooms where taken out and replaced with slots. This trend has been reversed in the last five years.
