MGM's "phases" to internet gambling....article from 2001......

[hollaballa]

This is an interesting interview from back in the early 2000's.

MGM CEO Terry Lanni mentions 3 phases for MGM's approach to internet gambling.

Phase three is basically "internet gambling being banned and then the country realizing all the tax dollars missed, etc, etc."

He says that america will eventually wake up.....

"When that happens I don't know, but I'm convinced it will happen, and that's only if the Kyl Bill becomes law here in the United States."


Read the interview for more details.

I just think it's interesting how he pretty much layed things out how they needed to happen, and although he's a big proponent of internet gambling, his vision of how things would go were for it to be banned first. Not for lobbying, a study, then legalize.

He basically says the only way the US will wake up is if they try to ban it first.

Interesting. Makes you go, hmmmm, for sure.
