Should PokerStars be allowed to operate a casino in Atlantic City?
Earlier this week, the American Gaming Association submitted a legal brief to the New Jersey Casino Control Commission stating that PokerStars should be banned from purchasing the Atlantic Club casino in Atlantic City because it "operated a business with a history of intentional, uninterrupted criminal violations." Do you think New Jersey gaming regulators will allow PokerStars to purchase the Atlantic Club casino in Atlantic City? Should they be allowed to? View poll
