There were 10 states debating the possibility of legalizing online poker and many expected California to be the first amongst these ten states to legalize the online poker industry. It now appears that Pennsylvania will take the lead and go ahead with the online legalization process after the House Gaming Oversight Committee<\/a> voted 18-8 in favor of legalizing the online poker industry.<\/p>\n If the HB 649 bill<\/strong> gets a possible full House vote, it will then go to the Senate for review and should it clear the Senate then it will be sent to Governor Tom Wolf<\/strong> who will have to make the final decision to veto or roll it out. <\/p>\n
