Federal Judge Says Poker Is Not Gambling

Some of you may be interested in this article I saw today: Federal Judge Says Poker Is Not Gambling
Yesterday a federal judge threw out the conviction of a Staten Island poker room operator accused of violating the Illegal Gambling Business Act (IGBA), ruling that poker does not qualify as gambling under the statute because it is primarily a game of skill.
This should set a good precedent.
