Where does Hillary Clinton stand on tribal gaming and other gaming matters? Online Poker Report makes some predictions for the potential 2016 presidential candidate:
In 2000, Clinton supported a plan to bring a tribal casino to Monticello Raceway in the Catskills. That same year, Clinton also offered support for plans to build a casino in the Niagara region.

She has not always been a supporter of gaming expansion, however.

Years earlier in 1984, as first lady of Arkansas, Clinton went on a statewide speaking tour to oppose a ballot initiative to bring casino gaming to Arkansas.

With respect to Internet gaming, in 2006, Clinton voted in favor of SAFE Port Act/UIGEA which prohibits the processing and accepting of payments in connection with Internet gaming and that is unlawful under any federal or state law.

However, in 2008, Clinton indicated her support for a study to determine whether Internet gaming could be regulated properly to promote U.S. businesses in the industry while ensuring that proper safeguards are in place to protect minors and address other gambling issues.
