One of the less-publicized aspects of yesterday’s approved gap closing plan? The Council lent its approval to a proposal which would allow the D.C. Lottery to offer “games of skill and games of chance.” The Washington Times reports that the measure would allow D.C. residents to play online poker, as long as they were playing in the District. The proposal, introduced by Michael A. Brown (D-At-Large), is estimated to raise $13.5 million over the next few years — but there are serious doubts about whether the proposal is actually legal. District Attorney General Peter Nickles has some serious problems with the proposal and technically, Congress outlawed online gambling in 2006, though they have been reconsidering that law of late.
