We are hearing rumors that online gambling is coming back to the US. the CEO from MGM and Harrahs has not only predicted it; he also said they are prepared to jump in, and it would happen in 12 to 18 months.

OK, that’s great news… but my question is WHY was it not legal (and many question that) all along? Why did legislators put the hammer lock on financial institutions and force them to make it next to impossible for US players to get the same enjoyment that the rest of the World gets?

Aren’t you sick and tired of being told what you can and cannot do with your own time and money?

Now comes another slap in Uncle Tom’s face… we are not only behind the rest of the World… we’re falling BEHINDER! lol. Read this:

Rumours that online gaming will be enabled on long haul flights have been circuited for over a year, and now one of the UK’s top national tabloids, the Sunday Mirror, has reported that 888 may be offering in-flight gambling as early as 2008.

Ryanair is the suggested airline company that will pioneer the project. It is predicted that they will provide access to the internet, so that passengers can log on exclusively to 888.com and deposit using credit card before playing any of their online games including casino, poker and backgammon.

It is reported that British Airways, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific have also signed up to the scheme. It is expected that others will soon follow. GamCare, the UK based responsible gaming charity has shown concern, calling for caps on the amount of time that people can access the site and play.

So, the Gambling Gods giveth, and they taketh away!
