It looks like it's the beginning of the end for online gaming here in Massachusetts. The bill proposed by governor Deval Patrick, H4307, is the one that seeks to create three land-based casinos within Massachusetts and, at the same time, criminalize online gambling for players. If this passes, which I'm sure it will, then anyone caught gambling online can get 2 years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine.

If this passes it will only be a matter of time before "The Microgaming 11" becomes "The Microgaming 12".
Many thanks to the PPA for bringing this to my attention.
