那些支持在芝加哥大力发展博彩业的人正希望给伊利诺斯州州长Pat Quinn制定一条最诱人的法案，这位州长此前已经两次否决这一措施。这意味着网络扑克没有任何可能被加入到最新版本法案中，美联社报道。

据报道，Quinn说他没有准备考虑网络赌博相关事宜。

提议的支持者之一，将去除网络扑克的相关内容。据报道，参议员主席John Cullerton计划晚些时候通过一项单独法案来推动在线扑克合法化，但是具体事件未定。

据报道，支持者认为扩大博彩，在税收方面业每年能净赚4亿美元至10亿美元。但是网络赌博到底能带来什么还不能确定，伊利诺斯州也不知道是否应该开放这便利之门。

伊利诺斯有发达的彩票也，并有传言说允许它监管虚拟赌场游戏，他们是否应由立法者授权。最近的计划，是让那些实地赌场运营者来经营州内的产业。

目前在线博彩只在内华达州，新泽西州和特拉华州合法。

如果新赌场被授权，数以千计的新老虎机将来到该州。在芝加哥建立赌场有巨大吸引力，能带来巨大的旅游群体。

Online Poker Off Latest Casino Bill In Illinois

Those who support expanded gambling in Chicago are looking to make a bill the most attractive as they can to Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who has vetoed a measure twice before. This means that any possibility of Internet poker being part of the latest version of the bill is off the table, according to reporting from the Associated Press.

Quinn reportedly said he wasn’t ready to consider Internet gambling.

One of the backers of the proposal will take out language related to Internet poker. Sen. President John Cullerton reportedly plans to push for web poker legalization in a separate bill at a later point in time. It’s unclear when.

Supporters reportedly think gambling expansion could net the state between $400 million and $1 billion a year in additional tax revenue. It’s also unclear what Internet gambling could bring, should the state ever open the cyberspace doors.

Illinois has a strong lottery, and there has been talk of allowing it to oversee the virtual casino games, should they ever be authorized by legislators. The most recent plan, though, was to let brick-and-mortar gambling operators run the intrastate industry.

Online gambling is only legal in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware.

Thousands of new slot machines could come to the state if new casinos are authorized. The grand prize is a casino in Chicago, which would capture a huge tourist population.
