"California voters long ago unleashed the gambling genie, approving the lottery in 1984 and Indian casinos in 2000. But get ready for more. In time, all manner of wagering will become legal over the Internet.
No one wants to leave money on the table, not the tribes that own casinos, not the people who own card rooms and racetracks, and certainly not the state.
If you're a gambler, they'll figure out a way to get at your debit card. It may not be this year. But soon, your laptops, cell phones and iPads will become legal gambling devices.
Two bills are pending in the Legislature to legalize intrastate gambling. Congress is considering the issue again, as are several states."
