Judging by the agenda announced for Wednesday's Joint Informational Hearing in the California Senate and Assembly Governmental Organization committees, online poker doesn't appear to be anywhere close to a breakthrough in the Golden State.
Online discussion will only be part of the hearing that will feature just nine speakers mostly from the legal and regulatory side of gaming. It will be televised at calchannel.com beginning at 1:30 p.m. PDT.
Conspicuously absent are representatives of the individual gaming entities that are at a stalemate on parameters for who should be allowed to participate in California online poker.
