    So... you can crash your car on Interstate 5 in Washington completly drunk and be charged with a misdemeanor.... or you could sit at home and watch movies with the family while grinding $20 Mtt's and be charged with a FELONY... Sick line WASHINGTON STATE

    Its mind numbing to realize that politicians are so engrossed in their lobbyist pandering that they don't even have to pretend to be legitimately serving the will of their constituents anymore. The only thing more of a hypocritical joke than the "war on drugs" in this country is the "war on internet gambling".

    Washington State legislation is stupid, the state is poor as hell and can't think of ways to use poker to fund the poor ass state I live in other than taking our tax money and doing numerous number of road construction. We all see the signs saying it costs MILLIONS of dollars for construction, couldn't they see that poker could go towards that or some other funding instead of making it illegal?

    Irony. Here in California our leaders don't want people playing games of chance for money but they have no problem promoting scratch off lotto tickets, pick 5, and the super mega lotto.
