Casino reporter says Reid is now sounding like Sheldon Adelson on the issue and has said that the proliferation of online gambling “is not good for our country, ” and that it is an “invitation to crime.” He added that it is hard enough to control within four walls, but given the internet, online gambling poses a hazard.

Casino reporter thinks that Reid struck a deal with Sheldon Adelson, Las Vegas Sands CEO and huge Republican donor who has been outspoken against online gambling. Reid, on the other hand, has tried to make legislation that would be supportive of online gambling, until now. So what changed?
