We asked RedEye’s Twitter followers their thoughts on the possibility of video poker coming to bars in Illinois. Even Mayor Daley says he’s cool with it. Here’s what they said. RedEye on Twitter is a sure bet at twitter.com/redeyechicago.

@TheShaun316

Its funny how they’ll legalize gambling but not weed which would b easier 2 control & tax.

@ranciddoll

I can’t believe video poker was even up for questioning. It just seems like another way to over step censorship boundaries.

@Ladyexpat

It’s a great way to lose everything. I know some that have.

@Tabz

I’m really not a fan of the idea that we can bend the rules. They should just make all gambling legal and be done with it.

@NikiConrad

Just when I thought Golden Tee was done distracting my future husband, now comes video poker?!

@JCLJ

I get it- they don’t let us smoke, so that displaced impulsivity transfers to the poker machines. $$$ what a racket!
