Any comments on the barriers coming down.
This has nothing to do with poker, sorry.,,,, unless there is a provision for a poker/sports hotel in there somewhere.
The barriers coming down are to sports betting. Unfortunately no necessary collateral effect on poker.

"For whatever reason, online gambling can barely get a mention.
Since 2016, just 11 states have considered online gambling legislation, and just one state, Pennsylvania, has passed a bill.
Basically, states are not only ignoring online gambling as an issue, it’s batting well below the Mendoza Line in the states that are actively pursuing it.
So what gives?"
