It appears that the opponents of video poker have tried every avenue available in their relentless pursuit of a ban on video poker. There last real hope is in having video poker declared a lottery. Here's what I have learned. Correct me if I am wrong on any of the following points. (1) attempts to ban video poker through new legislation have failed. The votes aren't there. (2) Supreme Court has ruled that VGM payouts are legal (3) Supreme Court has ruled that counties which voted to ban video poker are out of bounds because the law must be applied uniformly across the entire state. (4) the Supreme Court will not address the issue of whether video poker is a lottery prior to a lower court decision. (5) there is no criminal penalty written into state law to punish a video gambling machine owner who pays above the established $125 daily pay-out cap.
