HEADLINE: Intrastate Online Poker Coming to Nevada?
Story:
Nevada lawmakers are not going to give up quietly especially when they see a good thing and want part of its conception and growth. I mean come on; weare talking about the state that built a city in the middle of a desert which grew to be the gambling capital of the world! It seems that lawmakers in the state of Nevada will be discussing intrastate online poker and all its perks sooner than later. William Horne, the Assembly Minority Whip has decided to introduce an intrastate online poker bill that would regulate and license sites in Nevada. Unlike the Governor of New Jersey who let down the entire online gambling world last week when he crumbled at the last minute and vetoed what could have been the first bill offering online gambling to a state, Nevada lawmakers don’t crumble as easily to pressure and know how to put up a good fight when they believe the outcome will be an innovation and profitable to their State.
Unlike other recent bills this piece of legislation is rumored to include ALL online poker sites regardless if they have been operating in the US since the UIGEA bill was passed. Most other online gambling bills that were introduced in the past year sought to penalized online gambling sites that continued to accept USA players. This is a welcome change to online gaming operators worldwide who are hoping to enter the US market either with Federal legalization or intrastate bill passage. One feature of this rumored Nevada gaming bill also states that for an existing gaming site to apply for a license in Nevada they would have to have been in operation for at least 2 years successfully.
Another rumored backer of this new gaming bill is former Speaker Richard Perkins who also represents Pokerstars.net. One last piece of information of interest is the point that this newly drafted bill would not prohibit gamblers from other states! All who wish to gamble at these online poker sites coming out of Nevada will be welcomed
