California?s Senate Pro Tem announced this week that the state won?t move on approving a California online poker or any online casino gambling bill this year.
In a letter to both gambling interests and those opposed, Steinberg said that ?significant, unresolved issues remain? and that ?we believe that well thought out, fair solutions to these differences can be reached, but not before the end of this legislative year on September 9.? The letter was signed by Steinberg and Sen. Roderick Wright, a Democrat who chairs the state?s Governmental Organization Committee that oversees gambling regulation.
In general, California?s Indian tribes support online gaming but disagree on the bills that have been introduced so far.
For some time, online gambling proponents have been watching California because its legislation has progressed further than in many other states. The Indian tribes, however, control all of the gaming in the state and are bitterly divided over the bills that have been introduced and moved through the state?s congress.
After the Black Friday shutdown of online poker, there is more pressure for states to approve and move on online gambling of some sort, but California ? like many other states ? seems resistant to make a decision quickly.
