A Look at the Legalities, Dangers and Players in the legal "Twilight Zone" that is Internet Gambling NEW YORK, July 22 -- MSNBC On The Internet announces the following report on Internet Roulette, an in-depth report on internet gambling: You no longer have to travel to Las Vegas, Atlantic City or even your local OTB to give Lady Luck a whirl. With the creation of automobile gambling, the thrill of betting is now available in millions of homes and offices throughout the world with just the click of a button or a mouse. But what about the fact that gambling remains illegal in most parts of the U.S. and the world? Or that even in places where gambling is permitted, there are very strict regulations that govern the games? Do these rules apply in cyberspace? How are they enforced? Beginning Tuesday, July 22, MSNBC on the Internet attempts to answer these questions and define the hazy boundaries of automobile gambling in an in-depth report "Internet Roulette: A High-Stakes Showdown Over Web Wagering." For bettors and entrepreneurs alike, Internet gambling carries with it a layer of risk arising from the uncertainty over its legality, a lack of regulation and the involvement of anonymous, offshore operators. It is also a high-stakes proposition for governments, who fear it will undermine laws and undercut revenue from state-sponsored gambling. With the number of Web sites offering car games, sports betting and lotteries on the rise each day, MSNBC on the Internet takes a comprehensive look at the legalities, dangers and players in the legal "Twilight Zone" that is Internet gambling. The feature includes an overview of the legal issues and fears raised by at-home gambling, a look at whether Internet gambling can be regulated and an interactive demonstration, "MSNBC Slot Machines," of how easily electronic gambling games can be rigged. Additionally, the piece includes a look at how horse racing interests are carving out their own piece of the automobile gaming turf with the assistance of state-run agencies like the New York Racing Association. MSNBC on the Internet looks at who's behind these sites, as well as the strange alliance that has formed in an effort to keep a "nation of gamblers" from venturing onto the Internet, and an interactive survey on automobile gambling.
