Poker Expansion Causes Concern in US States

The state of Mississippi might be considering competitive measures in order to keep up with recent poker expansion in the state of Florida, which is a matter of some concern to residents of both states. Seminole casinos in Florida have won approval from a Florida Senate committee which will allow high stakes and celebrity tournaments at race tracks, and offer gambling up to 18 hours a day. These events would be eligible for filming and broadcast, which could bring in a lot of new business - presumably drawing away from the casinos in Mississippi. There has been word that Mississippi is taking a look at what they can do to counteract this master stroke.
