that's a little harsh...we don't like him because he opposes online poker, but calling him names and a 'jerk' etc. is a bit out of line, IMO...

Wynn is making a business decision...he has every right to oppose ideas or businesses that will impact his casinos...and I do believe, in the LONG run, once online poker becomes legalized, the possibility of online gambling becoming legalized as well increases..it may take another 5 or 10 years after that...but it can and probably will happen...that would include horse racing, etc....and then you can see how it MIGHT impact his casinos, let's say 5-10 years down the road...

the issue with the brick-and-mortar operators is that once and IF such online operations become 'legal', then it will be very hard, if not impossible to turn the clock back...

Damn, u middle fingered him and his casino, then requested the confirmation.

In otherwords, you didn't give him money before this tweet and you won't give it to him afterwords. Big loss.

This is a hop, skip, and a jump away from totalitarianism. Who gets to decide what's "best" for the masses? You?

Oh spare me the eiltist banter. If FT and PS can operate offshore they can operate in the US and pay the taxes and let the Nevada gaming commision regulate them. Is Steve Wynn a troll? Does he not want people to make money? Give it a rest. What is going on now is illegal and cheating and God knows what else that goes on is rampant. Collusion, superusers etc. Clean it up aleady and be done with it.

Why not? You would rather that money go somewhere else? I want US citizens to get the jobs and I want my state and others to get the tax revenue.

In the US, who decides what's best for the masses now?

Answer: It's not the masses, and it's not anyone that is impartial or anyone that has the masses best interests at heart.

We may not be a true democracy, but the people still vote on local issues like this. Just look at California and prop 8. The masses decided that one, not the government. At least, for now, there's somewhat of a balance between what people think are good for the people and what the people think they want.

I want a money tree in my back yard. Heck how about two?

I'm sure everyone wants jobs and tax revenue locally. That's not necessarily how the real world is going to play out though. Even if/when online poker is regulated I'm sure there will be sites based in other countries competing with US based sites. The consumers will decide which succeed.
