Casino trade group supports Internet poker bill

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The commercial casino industry's top trade group says it supports efforts by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to fully legalize Internet poker.

The American Gaming Association released a statement Friday saying the bill Reid's pushing includes solid oversight and consumer protections.

The association, based in Washington, D.C., represents the interests of the more than 440 commercial casinos throughout the country.

Reid says in a statement that his bill would allow Internet poker to be offered only by casino companies already approved in various states and licensees approved by American Indian tribes.

Reid says the bill would require licensees to only accept American players for the first three years.
