Companies Wait for Online Poker Legislation

After the US government rocked the online poker world by shutting down certain poker rooms, the land based casino industry is set to appeal for some new poker legislation. The AGA has released information that some thousand websites are eying the US poker players market. The AGA is the American Gaming Association, which said that the websites are all based off shore. Poker rooms experienced a boom a few years back, and if the US eventually does legislate online poker, it could experience a boom yet again.
