Default Curious why no one has brought this up

Ive been reading a lot about this subject and theres one topic I have not seen discussed once. While we may be able to argue that poker is a game of skill we certainly dont have any anwsers to as to why virtually every online room these days has a blackjack tab on the table or casino type games available on their site. Wouldnt these sites be looked upon much more favorably if they stuck to only poker and didnt offer any other types of casino games? The only person that sits and plays blackjack in between poker hands is the true gambling addict and I beleive it is in sites best interests to remove these options from their sites and it takes away from the integrity of their busines

There are 100 Senators in the US Senate. If the over/under line on how many of them care about the BJ button at Party was 1, I'd bet the under.

That's if I were a betting man. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I remember when they first started showing up thinking "This is going to attract the wrong kind of attention." I have no idea of course if it did or didn't but couldn't stop thinking once the gambling floodgates were pushed wide that we (U.S. online poker players) might not enjoy the same sort of tolerated, off-the-radar status that it felt like we had.
