NC Could Cash In First!

With all the press that POKER is getting right now, it would be absolutely awesome if some enterprising NC politician would see the opportunity for NC to really cash in on the opportunity to be one of the first in the region to pass legislation that would legalize and permit the opening of POKER rooms in the state. I would be willing to bet that we would pull tourists into the state from several surrounding states hunting legal games thus not only increasing business for the newly created poker rooms, but also hotel rooms, restaurants, service stations, airlines, etc.

It wouldn't surprise me for one of the first states to make the move, that is.... going to happen in many states, to perhaps even attract a large event sponsored by some of the existing poker "tours" that want to increase the awareness and popularity of the game.

To continue to force the millions of people in the US underground is absolutely ridiculous and a waste of potential revenue for the State of NC. The first one to step forward will absolutely get my vote and I'm certain that there are thousands of poker players in NC that would agree with me. Come on... do the right thing! Legalize the game!
