"Thousands of miles from the nearest casino, in a state where gambling is illegal, many Hawaii residents are wagering thousands of dollars in poker tournaments and other games without getting arrested.
And they are doing it from the comfort of their homes, where many have high-speed access to the world's largest casino: the World Wide Web. Money flowing in and out of thousands of gambling sites on the Internet is expected to reach $15 billion this year.
Hawaii is one of six states that outlaw online gambling but do little to enforce the law. The others are Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Oregon and South Dakota.
While gambling arrests in the islands are up, with 205 arrests so far this year for mostly clandestine casinos and cockfighting, Honolulu police have yet to charge anyone for betting online at Internet casinos, which is a misdemeanor.
In fact, according to California law professor Nelson Rose, who tracks online gambling laws, only one person has ever been charged in the United States for online gambling."
