		<description>Combine the casinos&#039; apathy with recent talk of legislation that could mean no US financial institutions can process money made from online gambling and the future of online poker and gambling sites is going to move overseas -  more than it already is. A lot of businesses, as well as the US government, will surely be missing out on a lot of revenue.</description>

		<description>There may be room for more player vs player strategy games in the future, but even with poker we see that the game must be kept very simple. I’m guessing 99% of poker players only play and understand no limit holdem, as other poker games are more complex. So, the theme is still the same, keep things simple so people can spend their time playing.</description>

		<description>Just to substantiate my previous comment:  
8 September 2009 - Bwin Interactive Entertainment AG, an online bookmaker, lost a challenge to Portugal&#039;s sports- betting monopoly after a European Union court said gambling restrictions are legal as long as they target fraud and crime.

Bear in mind, the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, a centuries-old &quot;non-profit-making organisation&quot; operating under the strict control of the Portuguese Government, only has exclusive right to organise and operate lotteries, lotto games and sporting bets via the internet - and not all type of online gambling as I have seen suggested in the media.</description>

		<description>Legalizing table games like poker and blackjack would create 10,000 jobs at slots casinos in Pennsylvania, according to a study.

According to New Jersey’s Innovation Group, legalizing table games in Pennsylvania would create casino jobs as well as support jobs in the construction and service industries.

The State House Gaming Oversight Committee will hold a meeting this week to review the study.</description>

Now, in online gaming industry is tuff - so will seemuch more creativity - like no deposit casinos and so on...</description>

		<description>I agree with you that there is certainly a lack of inovation within the casino industry.

However, I also wonder if that is in fact, no coincidence. What I mean is, isn&#039;t there a reason for the specific  placement of the slot machines in every casino?

Isn&#039;t there also a specific reason for all the color schemes in casios as well...not to mention the abundunce of alcoholic bevarages.</description>
