Press Release Summary: Arnold Schwarzenegger Signs Ban on Bingo

Press Release Body: The governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a
bill that bans charities from allowing players play electronic or online bingo
games, preserving Indian tribes' monopoly on slot machines.

However as a compromise to pass the bill, charities will be allowed to run bingo
games simultaneously at multiple sites by using audio and video equipment.

It’s debated that the new law will mostly hurt smaller, community-based charities as
they will suffer a tremendous loss from their fundraisers.

Doug Bergman, president and chief executive of United Cerebral Palsy of Greater
Sacramento, says the law serves the interests of powerful tribes over charities.

The “Terminator” terminated the matter by signing the bill by Sen. Gil Cedillo of
Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The Governor’s decision doesn’t coma as a surprise as the passing of the Ban would
have eventually affected the States business and income from other forms of
gambling.
