Re: Illinois proposes to allow online poker to be run by race tracks
"They believed they didn't need additional legislation since they are already licensed for parimutuel betting."
Creative, but I'd think their license doesn't allow them to offer paramutual betting on anything other than horse racing at horse tracks with which they have an express agreement.
I do like the understanding that poker IS like a paramutual pooling..... except for the added distinction that the "racing"/playing is done by the players themselves AND the placing of wagers is itself a large part of the playing.
