The way you secure it from underage kids is by having PARENTS. It will also be against the law for underage kids to play. Going to create problem gamblers??? Unregulated gambling sites of all forms have been readily available for 20 years. The people with gambling problems already found online gaming. Mr. Marnell III should look into banning alcohol at his casinos to protect people from becoming alcoholics.

Because porn and alcohol are truly secure from young children too....

Ban alcohol everywhere in the US outside of Vegas too...

How can casino owners talk about morality... they make their living off of ruining peoples lives... oh well they dont see it this way though because they choose not to...

thats pretty funny because if i walked in with 40k and said a loud i have a 40k inheritance and i want to play with it,than i started playing some serious table games, and went on a hot run and turned it into say 350k. theyre not interested in letting me go home and enjoy my winnings,they're going to give me a room, drinks, food......and i am willing to bet that if they did there homework on me to see if im rich ,than figure out i am in there on gambling high and have my life money with me,they're not gonna be content to get that lost money back,they will want it all and i doubt i will get a person walking up to me with 20k left and wanting to talk with me about my 1 week stay and gambling problems. that i should take what i have left and go home.................YAH OK THATS NOT THE REAL WORLD OF THE CASINOS

very true, i can def see online rooms with separate booths and screens for action on their own sites ,plus all the advertising and promos,satty tourneys with seats to live events at the casinos plus all the other ideas that will come to fruition as well

It is the same thing as a porn shop wanting porn on the internet to be illegal. If you are on the stance that all gambling is bad fine but enough with the double standards already.

How come there's never any opposition from someone who doesn't have a financial stake in it's defeat. Morality is subjective and can be tailored to fit any situation. This is what's wrong with America.

This guy is such a scumbag....all he see's is his profits going down.
First off like the article says it's WAY easier to fake your age at a casino that it is online.
All you need is a fake I.D. online, you'll need an actually driver license, credit card, etc.

This guy is such a scumbag....he doesn't give a *&%$ about "gambling addicts" if he did he'd just sell his casino and get out of the business all together.
All he see's is his profits going down.
First off like the article says it's WAY easier to fake your age at a casino that it is online.
All you need is a fake I.D. at a casino, which they don't even check to see if it's real or not.
Online, you'll need an actually driver license, credit card, etc. Much more secure

If You owned a casino in Las Vegas a town that casinos lost $4,000,000,000 in 2011. I would probably feel the same...

So I understand what they are trying protect. although I do not agree with there point of view

Convenient how every single major Casino that isn't well positioned to profit immediately is resorting to a negative stance against online gambling. I understand the want to protect your bottom line, however the reasoning used by both these men is laughable at best. At least have the balls to come out and say your uncomfortable with what online gambling might do to your business model due to your lack of positioning.

$4,000,000,000??........source?

Maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't casinos be able to boost their numbers if online were available?They can run satellites to weekly/monthly tournaments being held at the casino, which would bring in more players, who more than likely would stick around after busting and play some cash games. They can also run satellites to tournaments in series like WSOP-C and the like, which would attract more people to their casinos and have them staying for more than one day/night (thus increasing their hotel & cash game numbers).

It's the casinos that aren't positioned properly for ipoker that are against it. MGM and Caesars have already partnered with foreign providers. Those other American casinos who have yet to react to this inevitable sea change are the ones that are going to be left in the dust - at this point they are only dragging their feet. Even an idiot can see the truth behind their 'morality' argument.

I always go to the M to put in my sports bets but I guess I ain't going there anymore. Also good to know about the venetian and palazzo, no more business from me. (I'm not a huge better though but if this is their stance than I'll stay away)

Casinos let Phil Ivey play underage. Looks like they failed there

:):)...what a $%^&*%$% joke...read between the lines ....this clown is full of crap......ITS ALL ABOUT THE ALL MIGHTY $$$$$$$.......they should fire his lying ass for even opening his trap like he did....btw i will not being staying at your hotels any longer and all my friends feel the same way.....so you buddy have lost more revenue by lying like the sidewalk...don't BS us cause your not getting away with it!!!!!
