GamblingCompliance Looking Forward... “ Internet gambling is going to come. It’s interesting that seven or eight years ago, most of the industry was opposed to Internet gambling, and now it’s flipped.” – Tom Swoik, Illinois Casino Gaming Association “We want to make sure that states like Nevada, New Jersey and California, which are moving forward on Internet gambling, don’t get a competitive advantage on Illinois by legalizing it before we do. We don’t want Congress to close the door by passing a bill before Illinois does. We want to be grandfathered by acting first so the federal government won’t be able to prevent what we want to do on Internet gambling.” – Ronald Holmes, Staff Member Illinois Senate President John Cullerton
