There are several legal routes the US can take. First off, just sitting around waiting buys them time and is certainly a sound legal strategy. By 'them', I do mean the US based B&M casinos that want the US market share, and they want that market to be HUNGRY, which is why we are being starved right now.
Secondly, the US has every legal right to enforce its Taxation laws. For example, the WTO cannot challenge or enforce any sanctions against the European VAT. Therefore, US legislatures will obviously start trying to figure out a way to force income from abroad to be taxed in the form of a W9. I would imagine there would be a lax in those laws, or the levels of taxes collected on gambling winnings from US based casinos (so as to encourage US play within the US).
These are complicated things that need to be sorted out, so I'm sure the US will stand firm on the new law and just sit and wait for awhile. Although the WTO ruling is interesting, the US does not have any previous history of being forced to do anything.
