jennicide returns!!

[21times20]

i don't think the senate bill has much of a chance of being passed as i doubt there is much support for the legalization of such a broad range of gambling, which is perhaps evidenced by the lack of a single co-sponsor. i think it also does not bode well for the bill that they had to make an amendment because the original draft was trying to add a subsection (d) to a section of the constitution that well, already had a subsection (d).

however, the fact that a bill has already been signed that goes into such detail defining the game No Limit Texas Hold'em, even if it is wasted on charity tournaments seems like it would make an amendment legalizing specifically the game of hold'em easier. i had previously read somewhere that a major hurdle to bringing any kind of table game to the racetracks was that it would require an amendment to the state constitution, but if they can legalize hold'em tournaments for charity organizations just by amending the delaware code it seems they could do the same to legalize ring games and tournaments at the racetracks.

now after typing all this during my researches i came across something in the code that makes me wonder if any law change is even needed, in the code for the gaming control board it says:

§ 1504. Poker games.

The Gaming Control Board shall promulgate rules and regulations concerning the game of poker; provided, however, a licensed organization shall not be prohibited from utilizing monitors and/or engaging the use of dealers at any poker game.

if state law already expressly gives the gaming control board the authority to regulate poker games why is any change in law necessary to add poker tables to the racetracks?
