Abstract
This Comment examines the current state of internet poker legislation and where it is headed in the future. First, the Comment provides the legal background behind internet poker legislation. Then, it examines recent and current attempts by legislators to legalize internet poker. Finally, it analyzes the steps that legislators should take to increase the chance of passing internet poker legislation. These steps include conducting an informational survey, narrowing the scope of the legislation, and minimizing the effect on states that may occur from switching from a state-controlled empire to a federally-regulated regime.
