Legal online poker still is not available in the U.S. at large…but it soon will be on Indian reservations in 30 states. Per an agreement between Cake Gaming and the Atlantis Internet Group, online poker is about to be offered to people in tribal casinos. The venture is called the Tribal Gaming Network.
Not really sure how this will work, or how successful it will be. Do you go to a tribal casino (which, by definition, already has live gambling) and log on to the site and play remotely? Will people actually do this? And/or can people who live on the reservations/grounds play on the site? How many people does this really affect?
Regardless, it is yet another incremental step toward broad legalization of online poker.
