I am a bit shocked that USA outlaws Gambling to great degrees in most states. Online poker is very hard to access in USA unless you live in Nevada, Atlantic City or Delaware. The reason I'm confused is that USA as a culture loves gambling in general... So it really makes no sense.

Hello GL:

Yeah, VICE has always been within the purview of organized crime.. It was something the government said GOOD people shouldn't engage in.. Then the government found out how much MONEY they could make if they went into the organized crime business..

All of a sudden, the numbers racket became the lottery.. Gambling dens became casinos.

The lesson??? Values are MALLEABLE.

In RI there was a very poor Indian Reservation that survived well after it started running Bingo games. Then it got the right to build a casino. Now every tribe member is wealthy. My "after retirement job" took me into the depths of the reservation, they live very well. Their own community center with a huge indoor-outdoor swimming pool with waterfalls and rock slides ... beautiful. It also serves cheap, very good meals, has exercise rooms etc. They even have their own golf course. The Chief told them not to get extravagant with their cars when they bought them (because it might cause jealous, racial reactions). Their own museum is a thing not to miss, that part is open to the public, it is cheaper than losing money @ Foxwoods, and will help to understand what WE took from them. They deserve to get something back! To bad our current EPA boss (and HIS boss), are taking the rest away from ALL of U.S.!

Of course! To play poker online, you will normally need to have deposit certain amounts of money to be able to wager. But let us rewind a bit. Online poker has indeed been growing in popularity and the following has swelled. However, one thing about online poker sites, you are given the freedom to initially try out the game, play the game and assess if the gambling site is worth signing up for.

One reality that video poker online for fun has today is that people still lack the trust to gamble with real money online. Most of them are satisfied playing the game similar to any normal arcade game today. But to gamble real time is another.

A survey by market analyst Mintel revealed 23 per cent of 3,822 people questioned had played poker in the past year. Most seem to participate infrequently, with only 7 per cent playing daily and 14 per cent at least once a week.

Half of those surveyed had watched the game on television, with a fifth citing TV coverage as the reason they decided to play. The amount of poker shown on TV has risen dramatically in recent years, from 13 hours in 2001 to nearly 540 hours last year.

The next time you hear of online poker, perhaps more people will play the game online. But at this rate, some people just lack the proper briefing on how to play online poker and entrust their money to websites that need more credibility and testimonies from members that have already signed up with them.

video poker online for fun

Hello b:

Video poker for fun ISN'T fun. It's like masturbating with mittens on. Oh, you're whacking - but it AIN'T getting anywhere..

When I play poker and push ALL of my money into the pot, I want the other players to weigh risking ALL of their money.. But, when it's for fun, there's NO risk, NO reward, and consequently, NO fun.
