Did You Know That Video Poker Was Banned in Chicago?
Posted on | February 26, 2010 | No Comments
Did you know that video poker has gone into hiding in the City of Chicago? No? Neither did we, until we read it this morning. Seems a little random, doesn’t it!
According to Mayor Richard Daley, the machines are banned in the city. The City Council may be looking at “banning” that ban, but Daley says that’s not on the books for the near future as there is a ban currently in place on banning bans. (Shurely not? Ed.)
The state of Illinois approved a measure legalizing video pokerin 2009. That was meant to raise taxes to help the state balance its books for its multi-billion dollar capital program.
So if you live in the Windy City, you’ll have to play online!! (It’s normally less windy indoors anyway).
