Basically, text from Deval Patrick's MA casino plan says that playing online would be punishable by 2 years in prison or a $25,000 fine.

I really wanted the casinos, but now I'm not so sure.

When are the casinos going to get that online good for them. I would have never thought to play in a casino if not first playing online.

Typical gov't hyporisy. A recent study showed that the lottery exploits the poor people far worse than casinos do.
