I mean, they don't even offer blackjack, sidebets, nothing.
Are they trying to say they're better than everyone else? Thanks. Also, why won't they turn off my doomswitch? |

I think it's a good thing (for me) that Stars dosn't have a casino.

I believe Stars caters to the more refined internet poker player that may think poorley of -EV/house edge gambling games (note the lack of fancy graphics, excelent CS, rock solid software, & tight games).
They may also believe as the only Major site that does not offer it, it may be an advantage (good players that bust on PBJ may choose Stars next time, or people that believe that the fish may/do bust out on such things may choose Stars instead) |

Poker, fundamentally, has as much to do with casino games as it has to do with, say, stock trading. People only associate poker with blackjack, slot machines, and other glorified money holes because they are used to the association in the B&M world.
In the B&M world, for all sorts of legal, social, and economic reasons, they have been and will continue to be mostly kept in the same buildings. There's no reason for this on the internet. I have always been very glad that Stars does not offer any -EV house games, and a bit disgusted that other major sites do. If the integrity of poker as a game of skill is going to be a factor in any fights against anti-gambling legislation, the major poker sites having integrated blackjack is not going to look good. |

[/ QUOTE ] I hope this is sarcasm. They are as money hungry as any other poker room. I can guarantee you that a casino will be added sometime in the future. |
