NBC had a complimentary word on Internet poker this week. Commenting on a story about a Tuscaloosa barkeep who has hugely boosted his business by starting a poker room and sponsoring a player to the WSOP, the US TV network reported:
"Gaming experts say the latest poker craze probably wouldn't be possible without the Internet. Last month, 1.3 million players wagered $136 million in online poker rooms."
