Online gaming is going to be legalized in the US if Congressman gets his way!

For a man who does not play “games of chance”, Barney Frank sure is an unlikely candidate in the effort to legalize online gambling and have people playing online slots.  Mr. Frank does not visit casinos (online or offline) and claims to never have pulled the handle on a slot machine.  So what drives the Newton-based Democratic Congressman so hard to champion a cause for which, apparently, he does not have much
“love”?  Why has the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee gone to the length of proposing new legislation that would legalize an industry that is under constant pressure from the US Department of Justice?
