Video poker - the final chapter?

My colleague Kerra Bolton from Asheville writes comprehensively today about the pending demise of video poker in North Carolina. Some Triad-area background is here.

The Senate is set to vote tonight(PDF) on the bill that would outlaw video poker next July.

If history is a guide, it will pass by a wide margin. I’ll update here tonight once there is a vote.

Update (8:05 p.m.): The Senate vote was 44-1. That one was Sen. Hugh Webster of Alamance County.

The bill now goes to Gov. Mike Easley for his approval or veto.
