Hey, the last time I checked the Federal Constitution there was nothing
giving the government a monopoly on gambling--but I did find the ninth and
tenth amendments prohibiting them from doing this. As you mentioned
Washington State claims a monolpoly on gambling but as you surely know
there are many many casinos where you can gamble within the borders of
Washington State. You can gamble on the Indian reservations (and disputed
land that is supposed to be an indian reservation like Tacoma), such as
Nisqually, Tulalip, Tacoma, Shoalwater, Steamboat Island.. I think the
Squaxins have a casino now as well. As Indian Reservations are on
equivalent level as States, they can have all the gambling & other
"freaky" laws they want. Most states (with the exception of Nevada and
Montana but I'm sure there are others) ban gambling, and Nevada state law
currently prohibits online gambling (due to the mafia/casino lobby), there
are no such laws on the Indian Nations which reside in our borders. As
Washington (along with New Mexico) are the last hold outs for Native
Soverignity, I suggest that you take your plans "offshore" to an Indian
Reservation instead of abandoning them. The great part of this is that
you are still in the US. As a knife merchant, I trade with the Nisqually,
Shoalwater and Quinault Indians periodically. I could assist you in
locating tribal leaders who are sympathetic to your cause. Its not that
the NAZIs in Olympia don't illegally raid the tribal casinos from time to
time but for the most part they are operational. Hey, they sell "illegal"
fireworks & "illegal tax free" cigarettes as well but rarely get busted.
Why not an online casino. If you are seriously intrested there are many
other tribes that many be intrested as well. And I don't even trade with
the more powerful Indian Nations such as the Yakima and Colville. Whats
more illegal, online gambling or the unconstitutional Federal usurpation
of power? I feel it's the latter.
