    Even Internet casino gambling failing in New Jersey

    ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Internet gambling in New Jersey has been underwhelming in the year since it began. It's under attack by opponents looking to shut it down, even as it provides a bit of help to Atlantic City's struggling casinos.
    When it started, Internet gambling was hailed by many as a potential game-changer that would help reverse years of declining revenues at Atlantic City's 12 casinos. Gov. Chris Christie's administration expected online betting to bring in $1 billion in its first year.
    But only one-tenth of that has materialized. And since Internet gambling started, four casinos closed. A fifth is poised to shutter next month.
    But even the small revenue boost from online gambling is helping the casinos that offer it. In several months, Internet winnings were the difference between the surviving casinos posting a revenue decline or an increase compared with a year earlier.

    When there are no games in online poker over 1/2, and no Omaha or anything besides holdem, it isn't worth playing online poker.

    Normal people do not play online casinos. Only degenerates do.

    I think states are realizing Internet gambling is not as profitable as it seems on paper
