South Carolina Takes Second Look
at Poker
When North Carolina fought its war against video poker machines, it
could have been paralleled with the struggle South Carolina had over
poker in general, but it seems that SC might ease up on poker, at
least as a "recreational activity". State Representative
Wallace Scarborough of Charleston wants to reexamine the longtime
ban on poker playing in hopes of updating the state’s 200-year-old
gaming laws - some of which outlaw games like Monopoly. If Scarborough
gets his way, private home games of poker would no longer come under
the eye of SC police.
