    Some Heavyweights behind legalizing Gambling on USA Internet

    These guys have $$$ (big BIG $$$) and equally big political pull

    George Soros, John Paulson and Leon Cooperman, three of the most successful hedge fund managers ever, quietly participated in a rights offering and became major shareholders in Caesars Acquisition Co., a spinoff from casino company Caesars Entertainment that has ownership in Caesars’ online gambling assets.

    Their stakes–previously unreported–are all part of an unprecedented bet on the future of the $60 billion casino business in America, as states from New Jersey to Delaware and Nevada legalize a practice that the Department of Justice said was illegal just two years ago. They were joined by billionaire private equity managers Leon Black, David Bonderman, Marc Rowan and Joshua Harris, whose two respective buyout firms are the biggest shareholders in Caesars Entertainment and doubled down by investing a combined $484 million in Caesars’ online gambling vehicle.

    With George Soros behind this... This could be Obama's mega Golden Parachute

    Keep an eye/ear open and see if a push for online gambling is forthcoming from this Administration - Selling point will be TAX revenue to save the children

    Sammy we have it already, casino and cards and of course horses. Sammy sports betting never will get approved as pro leagues and Vegas have too much money to stop it.

    Just a matter of time... USA wide Internet Casino Gambling

    Don't believe it will be left up to the players to pay personal Income Tax... Tax will be upfront when placing the wager or when 'buying in' with CC
