I read with interest that many US Indian tribes are worried that if all the US states legalize online poker, they will lose a huge amount of money from their land based casinos. I don't see how that can be, because these statistics were published by "Indian Country Today", written by columnist Dave Palermo:-

"On average, 80% of casino revenue comes from slot machines with another 15% from table games such as blackjack and mini-baccarat. Poker, a player-banked game, normally generates less than 5% of a casino’s revenue."

Even if online poker players were staying away from land casinos, which they're mostly not, there is still only a tiny percent of the casino's total revenue at stake here and it is really not worth worrying about, from what I can see.

So like if theres such a low percentage of revenue to be lost through folks playing poker online instead at the Indian's casinos, why are they complaining? Maybe they just want to wring every last drop of blood from that particular stone...
