Gambling and mid term elections

Yesterday's (November 8) mid-term elections indicated a new direction taken by U.S voters. People and online gaming experts are speculating on how the new Democratic majority in the House could affect the future of the online gambling industry in the United States.

It's still unclear which decisions the new leaders will take about the online casinos industry, but as already commented here on casino impact website, it's sure that the majority of american citizens are against the Ban signed into law on last October 13 by President Bush.

CNN exit polls indicates that 61% of moderate supported the Democrats nationally, but as indicated by Casino City reporter's Aaron Todd, the Mid Term election's result does not necessarily indicate a swing to the left.

Online gambling and casinos industry is asking to regulate a $12 billion industry that is growing and could produce over $3 billion a year in tax revenues. The alternative is to keep the prohibitions that may create underground associations that do nothing to protect players from fraud and responsible gambling guidelines.
