In a shocking reveal today, casino billionaire Sheldon
Adelson announced the disbandment of his Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling. Adelson noted the continued closing of many
poker rooms in Las Vegas as a sign that poker needed new blood, and stated, “There’s
no better way to attract new players than to introduce them to the electronic
felt.” Adelson said he’ll make haste to
get an online presence soon.
When asked if his Sands Corporation would look to buy or
merge with one of the existing players like PokerStars, or built its own online
site, Adelson startled reporters by revealing that they has already designed a
new Internet gaming site. It’s ready to
launch “…just as soon as my buddy Trump signs a new Executive Order legalizing
online poker in 49 of the 50 states.’ It
appears that Utah will be the lone state where poker is NOT allowed, though the
E.O. has a unique sub-clause that allows for the development of new, much-stronger
networking of Internet wi-fi systems in Idaho.
When asked if his original “concern for the children,” one
of his original driving factors for creating CSIG, Adelson scoffed. “You know, eventually some 7-year-old is
gonna find Dad’s iPhone and log in and start to play, but when the little punk
gets his pocket jacks snapped and loses a wad, he’ll learn a valuable
lesson. That’s life.”
In a related statement, Miriam Adelson, Sheldon’s spouse,
announced the closing of the Miriam & Sheldon G. Adelson Clinic for Drug Abuse in Tel Aviv,
and the opening of a chain of “Uncle Shelly’s Weed ‘n’ Feed” stores in states
where recreational marijuana is legal.
Adelson said he especially wants to set up shops in Nevada, where he
sees a good fit with legal online poker and legal dope. “Hey, it’s just the thing when you get your
pocket jacks snapped. Light up a doobie
and rebuy.”
Adelson
also noted that former right-hand man Andy Abboud is already scouting for “Weed
‘n’ Feed” locations in Las Vegas.
Adelson sent Abboud out about three weeks ago with a large bundle of cash
and about 15 ½ pounds of sample product. “Strangely, Andy hasn’t checked in
lately,” Adelson pondered. “Maybe he lost his cell phone again.”
