13th Jun 2007The Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGEA) has had a positive effect on casinos around the Unites States!!
Online gaming has taken a severe beating under UIGEA, but land based casinos have been thriving since the Bill was passed in September of 2006 by President Bush.
Land based casinos have been expanding rapidly in the last year and the latest US state to join teh band wagon is the Mid Western farming state of Iowa.
20 new casino sites will be opening across the state in the coming months and years allowing each of the states 2.9 million people the chance to access a casino easily.
