More Good News for Legalizing Internet Gambling

The American Gaming Association is now open to the concept of legalized online gambling. The American Gaming Association, formed in 1995 to give the commercial casino industry a voice in Washington, D.C. Only the president, CEO, or chairman of a major company in the gaming industry is eligible to sit on its board of directors, at one time was completely against internet gambling of any kind. "We now believe that internet gaming can be properly regulated so long as there is a tough regulatory framework that is put in place," said Fahrenkopf, a former Republican National Committee chairman during the Reagan years who has been with the AGA for all its now 15-year history. "We would be open to looking at legislation that's out there to see whether or not it provides the consumer protections that we think are so important."
