Online Poker Nevada

Great news coming out of Nevada yesterday.  The Nevada Gaming Control Board has confirmed that Nevada will begin licensing online poker starting in February of 2012.  While the online poker legislation will be intrastate only, Nevada has prepared the legislation to work with any federal legalization of online poker and online gambling.

The legislation for online poker in Nevada may have come to pass because of an economic down turn in the state of Nevada and possibly because Senator Jon Kyl may have relaxed his views about the topic.  One company that had already expressed interest a few months ago is 888 poker, an online gambling corporation based in the UK.  Other poker brand names that may jump on this opportunity are Party Casino with the WPT as well as other big named online poker brands.
