Less Than 10-Percent Chance of Online Poker in California, Says Assemblyman Mike Gatto

California Assemblyman Mike Gatto entered the online poker legislative fray full of hope when he introduced his bill in December of 2014. Very little in this world can extinguish hope as decisively as a year dealing with gaming industry stakeholders in California on the issue of Internet poker.

It only took a few months of meetings for him to revise his initial projection of a 50-percent chance that an online poker bill passed in 2015 to a 35-percent chance for legislation to pass in 2016. Now that we're into 2016, Gatto told PokerNews.
