Clarification on Poker Game Law in UK Deflating

When the word went up that poker games would be permitted in pubs in the United Kingdom, pub owners and pokies alike were glad to hear it, but some of them may have been too hasty in any post-news celebrating. For those who look for their poker fun from coin operated games like video poker, they will have to keep looking, as those machines are not included in the new UK pub law. To clarify once and for all, the new law speaks to live poker games only, and not to video poker games.
