My home state of VA had a bill introduced last week to legalize Poker.. Now before you get too excited this would legalize B&M poker as well as home games implicitely.. Nothing yet for online poker but the way this bill is written it could very well open the door for Online poker very soon afterwards.. Bill S1400 clearly states Poker as a game of skill (thus not gambling).. S 1400, introduced by Senator Louise Lucas just a couple weeks ago, was reported, or approved, by the Senate General Laws and Technology Committee. Eight Senators voted in the affirmative: George Barker, Marnie Locke, Adam Ebbin, Jennifer Wexton, Scott Surovell, Jeremy McPike, Monty Mason, and William DeSteph, Jr. Of those eight, all are Democrats except for DeSteph.
