My perhaps cynical read of this article on amending the gambling laws (which I'm personally ambivalent about - it will neither save nor destroy Bermuda tourism), is that this legislation will be crafted so that a vote against gambling means Crown and Anchor will disappear from Cup Match. Now that would be an interesting tactic... and fun to watch unfold:
"We will table a Green Paper that will set out the research commissioned by the Task Force on Gaming. There will be some clear indications of what is not suitable for Bermuda and what, provided it is supported, Bermuda could have."Additionally, the Paper will recommend consolidation of all laws that touch on gaming of any kind into one piece of legislation. This will permit far greater certainty and clarity in the law.
"In my view, once we as a community are able to make an informed decision based on high quality, independent research, we can make a decision that represents what is best for all of us in Bermuda."
