This is exactly the sort of promise a right-of-the-other-guys party makes to secure its base and convert the worried and the xenophobes - support the vice laws and come down hard on criminals, especially foreign ones.
It may come as a surprise to you, but gamblers - even poker players - are not the most esteemed members of society.
