A survey of gaming industry officials shows most expect the legalization and regulation of internet gambling in the United States to become the world's top industry story in 2010.

But some experts say online gambling faces long odds, according to an article by the Las Vegas Sun.

An American Gaming Association survey of 17 internet gambling experts indicated the experts are skeptical that two pieces of federal legislation will pass.

One of those pieces of legislation was introduced by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-NJ. That bill would legalize, regulate and tax games of skill such as poker.

A second Internet gambling bill, introduced by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., would legalize and regulate many forms of Internet gambling in the United States.

According to the article, experts say the passage of either bill seems unlikely.

The industry insiders were interviewed at last week's Global Gaming Expo.
