Tribes: If Online Gaming Is Legalized, We Want In
Congress May Consider Rules For Online Poker
November 15, 2012|BY JON LENDER, jlender@courant.com, The Hartford Courant
If online gaming is legalized in Connecticut — either by state or federal legislation — both the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes say they want in on running the games.
Connecticut's two federally-recognized tribes — which each own and operate a casino — issued statements to that effect in the wake of a Courant story Wednesday about possible federal and state legislation that could make it legal to bet online from home computers. A key committee co-chairman in the Connecticut General Assembly also said that legislators "absolutely" should consider legalizing some form of online gaming when they reconvene in January, and Congress now is drafting potential legislation legalizing online poker nationally.
