South Carolina Looking at New Video Poker Regulations

June 13th, 2010 Posted in News

In the United States there are generally, at any given time, a number of different battles taking place in the gaming industry and the latest one happens to be taking place in the south eastern state of South Carolina. This Atlantic coast state currently does not have a bill in the state House or Senate, but sources have been suggesting that things could come to a head this year. New developments are coming through from Democrat party leaders who are looking into bringing a new form of video poker to the table to help earn money for the state. Raleigh, one of the larger metro areas in the state of South Carolina, is the place where policy matters are discussed by party leaders looking to get the other members of their party to side with their decisions before going to the public to get their support, as well. These meetings are not public, so the press relies on information from those who attended, often given under condition of anonymity.

It turns out that a new bill being pushed by some members of the House of Representatives is going to be pushed in coming months that will attempt to curtain video sweepstakes machines. These have become much more popular in recent months, with many locals enjoying the easy gaming offerings and a great deal of state income being generated in the process. If a new bill does catch some ground level support then it is highly likely that a challenge could be on for those who want to see the machines stay earning.
