Kentucky Gamblers Unhappy Campers?



       Ernie Fletcher – Governor of Kentucky

Day in and day out we hear about states limiting gambling activities.  In Kentucky, however, they are lucky enough to have a governor who is actually a proponent of expanded gambling – or are they?  This article at Casino Gambling Web tells us why the people of Kentucky are unhappy with the developments:

The only catch is that he wants to monopolize the industry. The latter fact may come at the expense of the citizens he represents.

This week, a judge ruled that online gambling companies have one month to block Kentuckians from accessing their sites. Many people who enjoyed spending their leisure time gambling online in Kentucky are now having that option taken away from them.

Of course, they do still have the option to play the state gambling lottery, or go to the horse track in Kentucky to gamble on a horse race. Money from both of those goes to the state, where the online casinos give the state nothing.

The state had been trying to seize the domain names of over 140 online gambling sites. The judge did not agree with the defense of lawyers for the online sites who claimed that domain names are not devices.

On the one hand, Kentuckians really are lucky to have many options available to them.  The thing is, what if you prefer to gamble online?  I am sure there is a fair number of people in Kentucky who prefer the latter.  Indeed, their governor should reconsider his policies.
