There are entities that have the resources to to this. They're called gaming companies. They just need to be convinced that it's worth their while.

Still, even if a powerful lobby with political backing and good lawyers could get involved here

i agree. Go hire the lawyers, lobbyists, and put together a warchest to make this happen. Then hire counter-lobbiests to chase after the Indian and AC lobbys, and a PR person to counter Donald Trump's inevitable complaints. Then report back to us when your done.

An idea is useless if you cannot make the vision come to life. Put up or shut up is my philosophy on life, talking about how we should lobby is wasted energy - start lobbying and get the ball rolling; just don't waste our time dreaming about change unless your capable of trying to implement change.

i think you missed my point, the gaming lobby doesn't want gambling in NY State. They also didn't want gambling in PA. They make too much money in AC to allow it to be further fractured. Trump spends a fortune every year fighting this, he is probably the most vocal of the casino owners. Remember that most major casino operators have a footprint in AC, if its not in their interest, they wont support it.

Hey, I am all for gambling in NY - I hope you dont misread my sarcasm. Problem is every 4 months someone gets on a soap box here and declares that poker should be legal in NY State, and then does absolutely didly to make it happen. I know the owners of most of the private poker clubs in NYC, they don't believe there is a thing they can do the change the law; isn't it ironic? And yes, they have lawyers working for them.
