Is the AGA Lukewarm About Poker?

Is the AGA Lukewarm About Poker?

It might be understandably assumed what the American Gaming Association's position regarding online poker might be, but some might be surprised by a letter from the AGA's CEO. Frank Fahrenkopf sent the letter to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and is not hot for online poker - more lukewarm. The AGA, according to the LVRJ, sees online poker as a threat to brick and mortar casinos, but Fahrenkopf wanted to clear that up a bit. He says the AGA is not lukewarm, and in fact some members of the AGA are invested in online poker on the European Market. Legalization of online poker is still a concern for the AGA, however.
