These sites on a global scale will kill these land based operations as soon as this takes off and it goes mainstream.
They use the Nevada Gaming Commission to protect their interest.
This is another industry ready for major disruption, if they do not step up and keep with the changing technology.
They already have the license and the financial backing to blow the smaller operations out of the water, why do they need the Gaming Commission to do their dirty work?

Bitcoin Poker Site Operator to Plead Guilty on Gaming Charge

Quote
Bryan Micon, operator of now-defunct bitcoin poker site Seals with Clubs, has agreed to plead guilty to a charge of operating an unlicensed gaming website in Nevada.

Micon traveled from his home in Antigua to Nevada earlier this week to face the gaming charge after a warrant was issued for his arrest in April by the Nevada Attorney General’s Office.

Defense attorney Richard Schonfeld told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Micon will serve an as-yet-unspecified probation term and pay a fine of $25,000. He will also forfeit assets seized when Nevada Gaming Commission agents raided his home in February, property that includes $900 in cash, computer equipment and just over 3 BTC.
