Last years Poker Hall of Fame extraordinaire Mike Sexton has revealed that he has made a few predictions about where the poker legislations this year were headed to. According to what he says, and if it really is so then there would be a lot of changes in the game of poker for the year 2010.

What Mike says is that poker will also manage to get out of the so called ‘grey area’. This will be because of the legislation bought about that will help in determining what the game of the future holds for the internet. Mike also goes on saying that if there were no federal changes happening on that front then here would be state changes like California that would work towards moving the legal regulations norms in favor of online poker on a state basis.

This year he says will also be a controversial year for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. This should be got about with the acceptance of Rep.Barney Franks new alternative laws which is also looking at legalizing the online gambling and poker scene on a federal level.

Sexton has also seen poker on a global level and says that the global poker scene will continue to increasing in its popularity, and this will be because of the world wide audience that TV can get. He even mentioned that the countries on the global front will regulate online poker just like what Spain and France are getting at. This also means that online poker players will now be able to play poker in their own markets and according to Sexton this could prove to be a role model for the United States.
