It's Not an Online Casino: 1

California has made the news a lot in the past couple of months concerning the online casino and poker gambling issues. Of primary concern was the proposed bill that authorizes a state sponsored study into the feasibility of in-state online poker gambling. Now that that legislation has been put on hold until the new year internet gambling supporters and critics are focusing the sights on the free-play slots machines and games offered by the Pauma tribe. The site in question is entirely a free-play online casino – gamers have no risk and nothing to lose. On the other hand though, the controversy stems from the fact that the online games are intended as marketing efforts to get gamblers into the land casino.

The site is powered by GameLogic, a US online gaming software provider. The legality issue really should come down to the fact that the internet casino gamblers have no risk attached to the game according to supporters. Although the site is a marketing effort in essence, there is no real-money coming into effect during the online play.

The part that has watchdog groups up in arms is the fact that the site seems entirely designed as a way to get internet players into the land casino. Gamblers are able to accrue credits while they are playing at the online gaming site – these credits can then be redeemed at the Pauma tribe’s land casino. In addition to just accruing the credits the site gives some gamblers special cards and the such which are also only redeemable at the land casino.
