Ok what I dont get you lose money on the net or you lose it in his casino,he is not going to get far in his quest to ban it,like the one guy said you cant regulate the web let alone ban something.I see Adellson as being greedy and trying to rally online gaming into his poket.now mind You ijust got a crash course on this and will look at it more indept later.
