Video Poker Battle Continues 

Video Poker Battle Continues

Everywhere you look in the media is evidence that poker is alive and well. Texas Hold’em is the buzz word of the year, yet another poker term is threatening to take top billing in poker related news; video poker. It seems that half the people in America are clamoring to have it, and the other have want to get rid of it as fast as possible. Once more, this time in South Carolina, the issue is brought to the courts on whether or not video poker gaming is healthy for the community. In York County a Columbia judge is hearing a request today made by the Catawba Indian Nation. The Nation is requesting that they be allowed to host video gambling machines on their reservation, also in York Count. While laws were already passed in SC that prohibits the activity, but the Catawbas feel they should have an exception.
