Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
Online gambling is legal in only three states right now: Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey.
California could be the next state to get in on the game. Talks among several California tribes working to draft a bill to legalize internet poker fell apart back in August, but a new development could mean that the push to bring online gaming to the state is back on track.
Host A Martinez talks with writer Jonathan Grotenstein about the possibility of an agreement on a bill to legalize Internet poker in California.
Grotenstein has been playing and writing about online poker for years. His most recent book on the subject is called "Ship it Hollah Ballahs."
(And a disclosure: Jonathan is married to KPCC's managing editor, Kristen Muller.)
