Steve Wynn Opposes On-Line Poker?

Just saw this on Andy Bloch's twitter feed. http://twitter.com/Andy_Bloch

"Steve Wynn keeps coming up as the only major casino owner still against online poker. Consider that when deciding where to gamble in Vegas2:23 PM Jul 21st from Tweetie"

If this is true, Andy is dead right about voting with your dollars in Vegas.

F-Steve Wynn and F-playing at the Wynn Casino.

Can we get confirmation of this?

Read the post. He's the ONLY casino owner to oppose on-line poker.

Harrah's and MGM are fully behind getting some form of legalized on-line poker here in the United States.

And Wynn is the only major casino who isn't near bankruptcy at the moment. So what's your point.

Re: Steve Wynn Opposes On-Line Poker?

So what if he opposes it? It's a completely understandable stance. Wynn is a visionairy. Why should he take the lemming approach of agreeing with the other owners just because they are for it? This thread is ridiculous.

If you want to boycott Wynn because of his stance that is your choice. However, know that I will reverse-boycott him because of your stance, and the effect I will have is 100 times greater than that of some internet poker geek.

Re: Steve Wynn Opposes On-Line Poker?

Why does Bloch want poker legalized anyways? Does he realize one of the main reasons why FTP is so profitable is the fact that they stuck with the US market when the UIEGA was passed? More poker sites equals more competition and pressure to lower prices / rake for players. Do they really think the influx of new players is enough to offset that?

Most people feel that the current imbalance of the law cannot stay that way forever. Either poker is going to become enforcably illegal or they're going to fix/repeal UIEGA. If you owned/worked for FTP, which would you want to have happen?
