Harrah's "Intranet" Poker

[malo]

Have no idea where to post this---here, the ZOO, B&M? I did search to see if it had been posted, but didn't see anything.
Apologies if it has already been posted or is in the wrong forum:

Wow, this didn't take long.

Very interesting, though I don't think that this is the first time that a U.S.-based gambling company attempted something such as this. IIRC ShuffleMaster attempted something similar at Foxwoods a year ago or so.

That would be sweet if it catches on and is popular, I'd much rather play while laying out by the pool than trying to squeeze into an overcrowded poker table.

It was in the works long before this bill. My guess is getting the software down before a nation wide release. We all know it's coming.

It will be officially released in 270 days! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Harrah's would like to give great thanks to their close personal friends Jim Leach and Bill Frist.

Interesting. It's only in-house, though. However, if they allowed you to multi-table, it'd be worth it.

Beware of the pool spies. You'll spot them easily, they're under 25 and wearing sunglasses.

Ok, but this is still for on-site gaming, right? Its just that you can play from anywhere on the gournds? Am I reading the story correctly?

I'm actually suprised that casinos like Harrahs haven't looked into having online offerings for in-state residents. That would seem like a logical step for me. Since its all intrastate, you wouldn't run afoul of the federal laws.

Now all we have to do is combine all state into 1 giant state and we are good to go.
