Not everyone agrees, but in my opinion a lot of progress towards an online poker bill was made in California over the past few weeks. The question is, will it be enough to get a bill passed?

It now appears the coalition of tribes that formed to oppose PokerStars’ entry into the potential California online poker market is splintering, and the scales have now tipped in PokerStars favor.

Following this week’s developments, it seems the only power players that remain in the camp of all out resistance to PokerStars are the Pechanga Tribe and the Agua Caliente tribe. These are the only two entities, from the coalition that at one point in time contained 13 tribes, who publicly criticized Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer’s online poker bill, AB 167.

Keep in mind this was a coalition that was speaking with one same voice as recently as this past summer.
